Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 300 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 300-4
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
A. This chapter shall not apply to mobile housing premises or migrant housing premises or to nursing, convalescent, and old-age homes, or similar institutional occupancies. B. This chapter shall not apply to fallout shelters constructed or installed to provide safety and security to occupants in accordance with specifications and standards contained in regulations or orders issued by the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission, or other analogous or successor body.
Section 300-4 of Mineola's Code of Ordinances Chapter 300 carves out specific categories of housing from the chapter's requirements. Mobile housing premises, migrant housing premises, nursing homes, convalescent homes, old-age homes, and similar institutional occupancies are all excluded from coverage. Additionally, fallout shelters built or installed to meet specifications set by the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission, or any successor body, are likewise exempt from the chapter's rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties that fall within the exempt categories listed in § 300-4 — such as mobile housing, migrant housing, nursing homes, or qualifying fallout shelters — are generally not subject to the obligations imposed by Chapter 300. Compliant operators of non-exempt properties, however, should confirm that their premises do not mistakenly rely on these exclusions without meeting the specific criteria described in § 300-4. Maintaining documentation that a property qualifies for an exemption, such as records showing conformance with New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission standards for fallout shelters, is a practice commonly associated with orderly property management.

Tenants living in mobile housing, migrant housing, nursing homes, old-age homes, or similar institutional settings should be aware that § 300-4 places those occupancies outside the scope of Chapter 300's protections. Residents of fallout shelters built to New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission standards are similarly excluded. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing type falls within one of these exemptions may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the full text of Chapter 300 to understand which protections may or may not apply to their living situation.
