Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 82-39
Authority to promulgate rules and regulations
Operative Text
The Building Inspector is authorized to make and adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement and interpretation of this chapter and to secure the intent thereof. Such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance of the Village of Manorhaven, nor shall they have the effect of waiving any provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter, and the penalty for violation thereof shall be the same as the penalty for violation of the provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall be submitted to the Village Board by the Building Inspector. Failure of the Village Board to approve, reject or modify such rules and regulations within 30 days after submission shall be deemed to constitute approval thereof. Said rules and regulations, as approved by the Village Board, shall be on file and available as a matter of public record.
Manorhaven, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 82 § 82-39 grants the Building Inspector the authority to create written rules and regulations needed to enforce and interpret Chapter 82, provided those rules do not conflict with or waive any existing village ordinances. Once drafted, the rules must be submitted to the Village Board, which has 30 days to approve, reject, or modify them; silence within that window counts as approval. Rules that pass this process carry the same legal weight as the chapter itself, and violations of those rules are subject to the same penalties as violations of the chapter's core provisions. Approved rules and regulations are public records available for anyone to review.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 82 should be aware that under § 82-39, the Building Inspector may issue supplemental written rules that carry the full force of the ordinance. Compliant operators generally stay informed of any newly adopted rules by checking the Village's public records, since approved regulations have the same enforcement weight as the chapter itself. Keeping current with both the base ordinance and any Building Inspector rules helps operators maintain consistent compliance across their properties.

Section 82-39 means that the rules a tenant may encounter from the Building Inspector's office are not merely administrative suggestions — they carry the same legal authority as Chapter 82 itself. Tenants have the right to access approved rules and regulations as public records on file with the Village of Manorhaven, which can be useful for understanding what standards apply to their housing. Those who believe a rule has been improperly adopted or conflicts with the underlying ordinance may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource for general guidance on how such concerns are typically raised.
