Standards
Operative Text
A. All multiple residences must comply with all applicable building and zoning standards and all general provisions of the Code of the Town of North Hempstead. B. All multiple residences must comply with all applicable building and firesafety standards found in the Uniform Code. C. All multiple residences must comply with all applicable building and safety standards found in the New York State Multiple Residence Law .
Section 8-8 of the North Hempstead Code of Ordinances establishes a layered compliance framework for multiple-residence buildings, requiring them to meet local zoning and building standards, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and the New York State Multiple Residence Law simultaneously. No single code supersedes the others; a building must satisfy all three bodies of regulation at once. This provision sets the baseline structural and safety floor that applies to all covered residential properties in the Town of North Hempstead.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple-residence properties in North Hempstead should be aware that Section 8-8 requires simultaneous compliance with the Town's own Code, the New York State Uniform Code for fire and building safety, and the New York State Multiple Residence Law. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections against all three regulatory frameworks, not just one, and address deficiencies under each body of law independently. Maintaining documentation of inspections, permits, and corrective actions across all three standards is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 8-8 gives tenants in North Hempstead multiple-residence buildings a basis to expect that their building meets local zoning and building rules, state fire and building safety codes, and the New York State Multiple Residence Law all at the same time. If conditions in a building appear to fall short of these standards, tenants can generally report concerns to the Town of North Hempstead's building or code enforcement department, which oversees compliance with this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York State housing law can help residents understand which specific standards may apply to their building and what general enforcement paths are available.
