Kings Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
The intent of this chapter is to attempt to protect the bucolic nature of the Village and the peace and quiet of its residents from unreasonable noise and traffic, and to provide that all rental dwelling units are safe, that necessary information is provided to the Village for essential communications between emergency responders and tenants in the event of an emergency, to prevent illegal rentals, and to prohibit the rental of accessory facilities or other portions of the premises separate and apart from the dwelling itself.
Section 122-1 of Kings Point's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 122, sets out the overarching goals of the village's rental dwelling regulations. The chapter aims to preserve the quiet, rural character of the village, ensure rental units meet safety standards, require landlords to share tenant contact information with the village for emergency communications, and prevent illegal or unauthorized rentals. It also prohibits renting out accessory structures or portions of a property separately from the main dwelling unit.

Under the legislative intent established in Chapter 122, § 122-1, compliant rental property operators in Kings Point generally ensure their units meet safety requirements, register necessary tenant information with the village to facilitate emergency responder communications, and refrain from renting accessory structures—such as garages, guesthouses, or other ancillary facilities—as separate rental units. Operators also take care that all rental arrangements are legally authorized under village code. Understanding this foundational intent helps property owners interpret the more specific requirements that follow in Chapter 122.
