Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees has determined that the rental of residential dwellings in the Village of Lake Success is a health and safety concern for Village residents. The rental of dwellings to transient persons can overburden municipal services and promote or encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Village. The Board finds that the new Code provisions will serve to halt the proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety, welfare and good order and governance of the Village will be enhanced by enactment of regulations set forth in this chapter. The new Code provisions will also assist in protecting the character and stability of residential areas and preserving the value of land and buildings throughout the Village.
Chapter 83, § 83-1 of the Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes the policy rationale behind the village's residential rental regulations. The Board of Trustees declared that short-term or transient rentals pose risks to public health, safety, and welfare, and can strain municipal services while degrading the local housing stock. This section frames the entire chapter as a measure to preserve neighborhood character, stabilize residential areas, and protect property values throughout the Village of Lake Success.
