Mount Vernon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 211 § 211-9
Exemptions
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to dormitories operated by colleges or schools nor to clubs as hereinbefore defined.
Section 211-9 of Mount Vernon's rent regulations carves out two categories of housing from the chapter's coverage: dormitories operated by colleges or schools, and clubs as defined earlier in the same chapter. Any rules, protections, or obligations established elsewhere in Chapter 211 simply do not apply to those two types of housing arrangements. This means residents of such facilities are neither protected by nor subject to the chapter's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of college or school dormitories and qualifying clubs in Mount Vernon should be aware that, under § 211-9, their facilities fall outside the scope of Chapter 211's rent regulation requirements. A compliant operator in these categories generally does not need to register rents, observe rent increase limitations, or follow other procedural requirements that Chapter 211 imposes on covered landlords. However, operators should confirm that their facility genuinely meets the definitions used in Chapter 211, since the exemption for clubs depends on how that term is defined earlier in the chapter.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of college or school dormitories and club housing in Mount Vernon should be aware that § 211-9 places those living arrangements outside the protections of Chapter 211 entirely. This means the rent stabilization rights, complaint procedures, and other tenant safeguards found in the chapter generally do not extend to those settings. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing qualifies as exempt under Chapter 211 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the definitions provided earlier in the chapter.
