Under New Castle, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 10 § 10-2, operators of multifamily developments that received density incentives in exchange for designated affordable, senior, handicapped, or rental units are subject to oversight by the Town Housing Agency—or, in the interim, the Housing Advisory Committee. Compliant operators generally maintain records demonstrating that restricted units are occupied in accordance with the applicable designation and respond to any rules or regulations the agency promulgates. Staying current with any administrative guidance issued by the agency helps ensure ongoing compliance with the Town Code requirements tied to those density incentives.
