Huntington Bay, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 63 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 63-2
Rental property defined
Operative Text
For purposes of this chapter, "rental property" shall mean a single-family dwelling, a room or rooms therein or portion thereof, that is leased, rented or otherwise occupied, pursuant to an agreement for habitation, for a period of 181 days or longer in exchange for compensation paid, directly or indirectly, to the owner, property manager, or any other person or entity having charge or control of the dwelling. "Transient rental properties," as defined in Chapter 91 of this Code, do not qualify as rental properties within the meaning of this chapter.
Section 63-2 of Huntington Bay's Code of Ordinances establishes what counts as a "rental property" under Chapter 63. The definition covers single-family dwellings, or rooms and portions within them, that are occupied under a habitation agreement for at least 181 days in exchange for compensation paid to an owner, property manager, or any controlling party. Short-term or transient rentals as defined in Chapter 91 of the same Code are explicitly excluded from this classification.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 63-2, operators of single-family dwellings in Huntington Bay should be aware that the obligations of Chapter 63 apply only when a rental arrangement meets the 181-day minimum occupancy threshold. Properties rented for shorter periods and classified as "transient rental properties" under Chapter 91 fall outside Chapter 63's scope entirely. Compliant operators generally maintain clear records of lease terms and compensation arrangements to establish whether a given tenancy meets the § 63-2 definition.
