Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 119 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 119-6
When effective
Operative Text
In accordance with Village Law, this chapter or any amendments thereto shall take effect 10 days after the required publication, posting and filing with the New York State Department of State, but shall take effect from the date of its service as against a person served personally with a copy thereof, certified by the Village Clerk, and showing the date of its passage and entry in the minutes.
Section 119-6 of Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 119 establishes two possible effective dates for this chapter and any future amendments: a general effective date that falls 10 days after the required publication, posting, and filing with the New York State Department of State, and an earlier effective date that applies to any individual who is personally served with a certified copy of the ordinance. The certified copy must be issued by the Village Clerk and must show the date of passage and entry in the minutes. In practice, this means the rule can bind a specific person sooner than it binds the general public, if that person receives personal service.

Property owners and managers subject to Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 119 should be aware that under § 119-6, compliance obligations under this chapter or any amendment generally begin 10 days after the required publication, posting, and filing steps are completed. However, if a landlord is personally served with a Village Clerk-certified copy of the ordinance showing its passage date, that landlord's obligations under the chapter begin on the date of service rather than the later general effective date. Operators who track local regulatory filings with the New York State Department of State can monitor when the standard 10-day clock begins to run.

Under § 119-6 of Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 119, tenants can look to the publication and filing record with the New York State Department of State to determine when this chapter's protections generally took effect — typically 10 days after those steps were completed. If a tenant or another party was personally served with a certified copy by the Village Clerk, the chapter's provisions applied to that interaction from the date of service. Tenants seeking to understand whether a particular rule was in effect at a relevant time may wish to consult the Village Clerk's records or a tenant-rights organization familiar with Village Law procedures.
