Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 140 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 140-2
Payment required
Operative Text
Each owner of a multiple dwelling located within the village which is subject to rent regulation pursuant to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy-Four shall, directly or through the management agent of such a multiple dwelling, annually pay to the Village Clerk, after the close of the fiscal year of the state, such sum per dwelling unit as the village's Commissioner of Housing determines is necessary, so that the village is fully reimbursed for the sum it is required to pay to the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal pursuant to Section 8 of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy-Four, as well as for all expenses the village has incurred in connection with administering the provisions of said Act. Failure to make such a payment shall be a violation of this chapter by both the owner and the management agent.
Under Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 140 § 140-2, owners of rent-regulated multiple dwellings in the village are required to make an annual payment to the Village Clerk. The payment amount is set by the village's Commissioner of Housing and is calculated to reimburse the village for what it must pay to the state and for its own administrative costs under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974. Both the property owner and any management agent can be found in violation of this chapter if the payment is not made.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 140 § 140-2, compliant operators of rent-regulated multiple dwellings in Great Neck Plaza make it a practice to track the close of the state's fiscal year and promptly remit the per-unit fee set by the village's Commissioner of Housing to the Village Clerk. Because the obligation falls on both the owner and the management agent, operators who use third-party management firms generally confirm in writing which party is responsible for submitting the payment. Keeping records of each annual payment helps demonstrate compliance if a question about a violation ever arises.

Section 140-2 of the Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances places the annual reimbursement obligation squarely on property owners and their management agents, not on tenants. Tenants in covered multiple dwellings may find it useful to know that failure by an owner or management agent to make this payment constitutes a violation of ch. 140, which could be relevant context when engaging with village officials or a tenant-rights organization about broader compliance concerns. Tenants who have questions about how this provision interacts with their rent-regulated status may consider reaching out to the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
