Mamaroneck Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 161 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 161-6

In order to prevent blight and the spread thereof, it is hereby declared that all structures used for residential or commercial purposes, including but not limited to one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, multiple dwellings, shopping centers, supermarkets, retail stores, discount houses, warehouses, manufacturing or fabrication plants, factories, gasoline service stations, restaurants, food-service establishments, office buildings, public garages, motor vehicle repair shops or other business uses, whether occupied or vacant, and accessory structures, located in the Town of Mamaroneck, shall be maintained in conformance with the standards set out in this article so as to assure that these structures and properties will not adversely affect the neighborhood and the community at large. It is found and declared that by reason of lack of maintenance and progressive deterioration, certain structures and properties have the further effect of creating blighting conditions and that, if the same are not curtailed and removed, the aforesaid conditions will grow and spread and will necessitate in time the expenditure of large amounts of public funds to correct and eliminate the same. By reason of timely regulations and restrictions, as herein contained, the growth of blight may be prevented and the neighborhood and property values thereby maintained and the desirability and amenities of residential and nonresidential uses and neighborhoods enhanced and the public health, safety and welfare protected and fostered. This article has been prepared and adopted with consideration of the character of the various zoning districts and the stability for the particular uses therein.
