Mount Kisco, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-38
Garbage and refuse
Operative Text
A. Adequate sanitary facilities and methods shall be used for the collection, storage, handling and disposal of garbage and refuse. B. In multiple dwellings, it shall be prohibited to store or accumulate garbage or refuse in public halls and stairways.
Mount Kisco Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-38 establishes two related requirements for residential properties. First, all garbage and refuse must be collected, stored, handled, and disposed of using adequate sanitary facilities and methods. Second, in multiple dwellings specifically, garbage and refuse may not be stored or allowed to accumulate in public halls or stairways.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 72 § 72-38, compliant operators of multiple dwellings generally provide designated sanitary receptacles or storage areas for garbage and refuse that are separate from shared interior spaces such as hallways and stairwells. Routine inspections of common areas help ensure that refuse does not accumulate in prohibited locations. Operators typically communicate disposal procedures clearly to residents and maintain any shared waste-handling infrastructure in a sanitary condition.

Section 72-38 of the Mount Kisco Code gives residents a basis to expect that their building's common areas — particularly public halls and stairways — will be kept free of stored or accumulated garbage and refuse. If conditions in a multiple dwelling appear to violate this provision, tenants may consider documenting the issue and contacting the relevant Mount Kisco municipal code enforcement office to report the concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County housing codes can also help residents understand what options may be available to them.
