Effective dates
Operative Text
This article shall take effect pursuant to the following schedule: A. Multiple dwellings with 60 or more dwelling units: effective January 1, 1993. B. Multiple dwellings with 30 through 59 dwelling units: effective March 1, 1993. C. Multiple dwellings with 16 through 29 dwelling units: effective June 1, 1993. D.

Section 149-66 of Mount Vernon's Code of Ordinances (Chapter 149) established a phased rollout schedule for the rent regulation article, with larger buildings becoming subject to its requirements first. Buildings with 60 or more units were covered starting January 1, 1993, followed by progressively smaller buildings through January 1, 1994, when buildings with three to fifteen units came under the article's scope. The staggered timeline meant that all multiple dwellings with three or more units were eventually brought under the same regulatory framework, just at different starting points.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 149-66, the effective date on which a property owner's obligations under Chapter 149 began depended on the size of the building. Operators of larger buildings (60 or more units) were required to comply as of January 1, 1993, while those managing smaller buildings (three to fifteen units) had until January 1, 1994. Property managers generally document which effective date applied to their building as part of maintaining a clear compliance history under the ordinance.

Section 149-66 determines when the protections of Mount Vernon's Chapter 149 rent regulation article first applied to a given building, based on the number of dwelling units. Tenants in larger buildings (60 or more units) have been covered since January 1, 1993, while those in smaller buildings (three to fifteen units) have been covered since January 1, 1994. Tenants who want to understand whether and when these protections applied to their building may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review the ordinance directly.
