Goshen, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 69 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 69-18
Prohibition
Operative Text
Any item or subject not included in this chapter shall be deemed to be prohibited.
Section 69-18 of Goshen, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 69 establishes a closed-list framework: anything not expressly addressed or permitted within Chapter 69 is treated as prohibited by default. Rather than listing every forbidden item or activity, the provision works in reverse — only what the chapter affirmatively covers is allowed. This creates a restrictive baseline where silence in the code equals prohibition.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 69-18, operators subject to Chapter 69 should treat the chapter as an exhaustive list of what is permitted. Compliant property managers generally review the full text of Chapter 69 before introducing any new practice, fee, or condition not already addressed there, since anything outside the chapter's scope is automatically off-limits. Consulting the Goshen municipal code or a qualified local attorney can help clarify whether a specific item falls within the chapter's coverage.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 69-18 gives tenants a broad baseline protection: if a landlord attempts to impose a requirement, charge, or condition that Chapter 69 does not expressly address, that item may be considered prohibited under the code. Tenants who believe a landlord is acting outside the chapter's scope can raise this provision as a potential defense or basis for a complaint with the appropriate local authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Goshen's ordinances can help identify whether a particular practice falls outside what Chapter 69 permits.
