Mamaroneck Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 161 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 161-1
Applicability
Operative Text
This article shall apply only to that part of the Town of Mamaroneck outside of incorporated villages, and whenever and wherever the words "Town of Mamaroneck" are used, such words shall mean the Town of Mamaroneck outside of incorporated villages.
Section 161-1 of Mamaroneck Town Code Chapter 161 defines the geographic scope of the article's rent regulations: the rules apply exclusively to the unincorporated portions of the Town of Mamaroneck, meaning areas that fall outside any incorporated village within the town's boundaries. Throughout the article, any reference to the 'Town of Mamaroneck' carries this narrower, unincorporated-area meaning. Residents and properties located within an incorporated village are not governed by this article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should first confirm whether their rental units fall within the unincorporated portion of the Town of Mamaroneck, as Section 161-1 limits the article's reach to that area alone. If a property sits within an incorporated village—even one geographically inside the town—the obligations and protections of Chapter 161 do not apply to it. Operators generally verify their property's municipal status before determining which local rent regulations govern their operations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 161-1 establishes that the rent regulations in Chapter 161 cover only renters living in the unincorporated parts of the Town of Mamaroneck, not those residing within an incorporated village. Tenants who are unsure whether their address falls inside or outside an incorporated village can check with the Town Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization to clarify their status. Understanding this geographic boundary is a foundational step in determining whether the rest of Chapter 161's protections are available to a given renter.
