Mount Kisco, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-1
Findings
Operative Text
It is hereby found and declared that there exist in the Village of Mount Kisco a substantial number of structures containing two or more dwelling units, each designed for occupancy by a distinct family unit; that certain problems exist in connection with the operation of such structures, particularly with respect to the provisions of this chapter of the Code of the Village of Mount Kisco, which affect the health, safety and general welfare of the persons residing therein and of the population of the village in general; that administration of the provisions of this chapter is especially inhibited with regard to rental units in that the curing of violations in such units is made more difficult by the presence of persons actually occupying such units while violations continue; and that increased efficiency in the administration of this chapter will alleviate the conditions above referred to, will assist in the prevention of blight and decay and will help to maintain the economic value of real property in the village.
Chapter 72, Section 72-1 of the Mount Kisco Village Code sets out the legislative findings that underpin the village's housing oversight program. It recognizes that multi-family rental structures present particular administrative challenges, especially when code violations persist while units remain occupied. The provision frames the entire chapter as a public-health and welfare measure aimed at preventing blight, protecting residents, and preserving property values throughout the village.

Section 72-1 of Mount Kisco Code ch. 72 explicitly acknowledges that tenants living in units with unresolved violations are a central concern of the village's housing program. This legislative finding can be relevant context when raising housing-condition issues with village authorities or when seeking information from a tenant-rights organization about available remedies. Tenants who believe violations exist in their units may consider contacting the Village of Mount Kisco directly, as the chapter is designed in part to address conditions affecting the health and safety of occupants.
