Fulton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 475 § 475-60.2
Regulations to be followed
Operative Text
The owners of non-owner-occupied properties, whether occupied or vacant, must follow all the provisions found within Chapter 475 , Property Conservation, with the following additions.
Section 475-60.2 of Fulton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 475 establishes that owners of non-owner-occupied properties—whether those properties are currently occupied by tenants or sitting vacant—are subject to all requirements set out in the Property Conservation chapter. This provision extends the full scope of Chapter 475's rules to this category of property, with additional obligations layered on top. The rule draws a distinction between owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties, placing a broader regulatory burden on the latter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fulton Code § 475-60.2, operators of non-owner-occupied residential properties are generally expected to maintain compliance with every standard found throughout Chapter 475, regardless of whether a unit is currently tenanted or vacant. Compliant property managers typically conduct regular inspections of vacant as well as occupied units to ensure all Property Conservation requirements are met. Because § 475-60.2 also references unspecified additions beyond the base chapter, owners of non-owner-occupied properties commonly review the full ordinance to identify any supplemental obligations that apply specifically to their property category.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
