New Castle, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 10 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 10-1
Purpose
Operative Text
The purpose of this chapter is to provide control and administration of occupancy of density bonus apartments created under the multifamily portion of Chapter 60 , Zoning, for special population categories.
Section 10-1 of New Castle, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 10 establishes the overarching purpose of the chapter: to govern how density bonus apartments — units created through the multifamily provisions of Chapter 60 (Zoning) — are occupied and administered, specifically for designated special population categories. This is a foundational statement of intent rather than an operative rule imposing specific obligations. It signals that subsequent sections of the chapter will set out the actual requirements for eligibility, administration, and compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating multifamily buildings that include density bonus apartments under Chapter 60 (Zoning) should understand that Chapter 10, § 10-1 frames the entire regulatory scheme governing those units. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full chapter to understand which population categories qualify for these apartments and what administrative processes apply. Because § 10-1 is a purpose clause, the specific operational requirements appear in the sections that follow it.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 10-1 of New Castle's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 10, signals that density bonus apartments in multifamily developments are subject to a dedicated regulatory framework aimed at serving special population categories. Tenants who believe they may qualify for such a unit, or who are already living in one, can look to the remainder of Chapter 10 for the specific rights and eligibility rules that apply. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New Castle's local ordinances can help explain how this framework may be relevant to a particular housing situation.
