Mamaroneck Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 312 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 312-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
A. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Mamaroneck, on November 13, 1974, declared an emergency pursuant to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, hereinafter referred to as the "Act," providing for regulation of rents of all housing accommodations subject to regulation under the Act. Section 8 of the Act requires that the village pay the costs incurred by the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal in administering the rent regulations under the Act by making deposits in a revolving fund. B. Section 8, Subdivision b, of the Act authorizes the village to impose on the owners of every building containing housing accommodations subject to regulation under the Act an annual charge for each such accommodation in such amount as the village determines to be necessary for the expenses to be incurred in the administration of such regulation. The procedures for the determination and collection of the charge and provisions for penalties and liens necessary thereto are hereby established.
Mamaroneck Village Chapter 312, Section 312-1 establishes the legislative foundation for the village's rent regulation program, which was triggered by an emergency declaration made on November 13, 1974 under New York's Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974. The provision explains that state law requires the village to fund the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal's administrative costs through a revolving fund. To cover those costs, the village is authorized to impose an annual per-unit charge on owners of buildings containing regulated housing accommodations, and this section sets the framework for how that charge is determined, collected, and enforced—including penalties and liens.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mamaroneck Village Code ch. 312 § 312-1, owners of buildings containing rent-regulated housing accommodations are subject to an annual administrative charge for each regulated unit. Compliant operators generally stay current on these per-unit charges as determined by the village, since the provision explicitly establishes mechanisms for penalties and liens against properties where charges go unpaid. Keeping records of annual charge payments and monitoring village notices about the charge amount are practices consistent with compliance under this section.

Mamaroneck Village Code ch. 312 § 312-1 reflects the village's formal commitment to administering rent protections under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, which provides the legal basis for the rent regulation program that may cover a tenant's housing accommodation. Tenants living in buildings subject to this program benefit from the administrative structure this section creates, as it funds the oversight that supports rent regulation enforcement. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit is covered under this framework may find it useful to contact the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
