The terms used in this resolution are defined and incorporated herein as follows: CONDOMINIUM As this word is used or defined under the Condominium Act of the State of New York and as the same is used or defined in the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations adopted thereunder. COOPERATIVE A cooperative corporation, an association, a partnership or other entity formed for the purpose of owning dwelling units intended to be occupied in the first instance by shareholders, associates or partners of the entity and as such word is used or defined in the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations adopted thereunder, and as such word is defined and used in § 581 of the Real Property Tax Law.

OWNER-OCCUPIED CONDOMINIUM AND COOPERATIVE UNIT Any condominium or cooperative dwelling accommodation which is occupied by an owner, proprietary lessee or shareholder, or which accommodation may be occupied by an owner, proprietary lessee or shareholder without evicting therefrom any person or persons who are otherwise entitled to remain in such dwelling accommodation as a rental tenant or tenants under the terms and protection afforded to such tenant(s) by the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, as amended.

Section 312-6 of Mamaroneck Village's Code of Ordinances Chapter 312 establishes the foundational vocabulary for the village's condominium and cooperative housing regulations. It defines key terms—including 'condominium,' 'cooperative,' 'owner,' 'owner-occupied unit,' 'proprietary lessee,' and 'vacant unit'—by tying them to existing state frameworks such as the New York Condominium Act, the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, and the Real Property Tax Law. These definitions determine which properties and individuals fall within the scope of the chapter's protections and requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers dealing with condominium or cooperative units in Mamaroneck Village should be familiar with the specific definitions set out in § 312-6, as these terms govern how the rest of Chapter 312 applies to their properties. Notably, the definition of 'owner' extends to certain family members of a purchaser or shareholder, which can affect eligibility for owner-occupancy classifications. Operators generally ensure that any unit previously subject to Emergency Tenant Protection Act protections is correctly identified, particularly when a unit becomes vacant, since 'vacant condominium and cooperative unit' carries a specific regulatory meaning under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants residing in condominium or cooperative buildings in Mamaroneck Village benefit from understanding the definitions in § 312-6, because these terms shape which protections apply to their dwelling. For example, the definition of 'owner-occupied condominium and cooperative unit' includes a condition that an owner cannot claim that status if doing so would require evicting a person otherwise entitled to remain as a rental tenant under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974. Tenants who believe their unit is being misclassified under these definitions may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full provisions of Chapter 312 to understand available options.
