Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-3
Exemptions
Operative Text
This article's provisions shall not apply to hotels, motels, hospitals or nursing homes, or other dwelling units that offer or provide medical or nursing services, so long as such dwelling units are subject to state or federal licensing or regulations concerning the users' and patients' safety.
Section 83-3 of Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 carves out certain categories of housing from the article's requirements. Specifically, hotels, motels, hospitals, nursing homes, and any other dwelling units that provide medical or nursing services are exempt, provided those facilities are already subject to state or federal licensing or safety regulations. The exemption is conditional: if a facility loses its state or federal regulatory oversight, it may no longer qualify for this exclusion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of hotels, motels, hospitals, nursing homes, or medically oriented dwelling units in Hancock should be aware that Section 83-3 exempts such properties from the article's provisions as long as the facility remains subject to applicable state or federal licensing or safety regulations. Compliant operators in these categories typically maintain current licensure and document their regulatory status to substantiate the exemption. If a property's use or licensing status changes, operators generally reassess whether the exemption still applies.
