New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 132-14
Enforcement
Operative Text
The Village Board or the Village Building Inspector may institute a proceeding in New York State Supreme Court to enforce compliance with this chapter against developers, applicants, owners, or tenants of the AH units and the developments in which they are situate, including relief at law or equity.
Section 132-14 of New Paltz Village's Code of Ordinances grants the Village Board and the Village Building Inspector authority to bring legal action in New York State Supreme Court to enforce the affordable housing (AH) provisions of Chapter 132. This enforcement power extends to developers, applicants, property owners, and tenants connected to AH units or the broader developments in which those units are located. The court may grant remedies in both law and equity, meaning a wide range of judicial relief is available to compel compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 132-14, both the Village Board and the Village Building Inspector hold authority to initiate Supreme Court proceedings against owners and developers who are not in compliance with Chapter 132's affordable housing requirements. Operators who maintain accurate records, adhere to income and rent restrictions, and respond promptly to inquiries from Village officials generally demonstrate the kind of compliance the chapter is designed to ensure. Being proactive about documentation and communication with the Village can be relevant if questions about AH unit obligations arise.

Section 132-14 makes clear that tenants of AH units are among the parties who may be subject to enforcement proceedings brought by the Village Board or Village Building Inspector in New York State Supreme Court. Tenants who believe they are being asked to comply with requirements that conflict with their rights under Chapter 132 may wish to review the chapter's provisions carefully and consider reaching out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with New Paltz Village's affordable housing rules. Understanding the scope of § 132-14 can help tenants recognize both their obligations and the protections available to them within the AH program.
