Nyack, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 263 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 263-14
Adoption of rules and regulations
Operative Text
The Mayor and the Board of Trustees are hereby authorized to make and adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, provided that such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter, and the penalties for violations of the provisions of this chapter, as hereinafter provided, shall apply to such rules and regulations.
Section 263-14 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances grants the Mayor and Board of Trustees the authority to create written rules and regulations to help carry out the rent-related provisions of Chapter 263. Any such rules must stay within the boundaries set by the chapter itself and carry the same legal weight as the chapter's own provisions. Penalties that apply to violations of Chapter 263 extend equally to violations of any rules and regulations adopted under this section.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 263-14, the Mayor and Board of Trustees may issue supplemental written rules that flesh out how Chapter 263 is enforced, and those rules carry the same binding force as the ordinance itself. Operators who stay current with any officially adopted rules and regulations under this section position themselves to remain in compliance, since violations of those rules are treated identically to violations of the underlying chapter. Checking for any rules or regulations formally adopted pursuant to § 263-14 is a routine part of understanding the full scope of Nyack's rent-related obligations.

Section 263-14 means that the enforceable rules governing your tenancy in Nyack may extend beyond the text of Chapter 263 itself to include any written regulations the Mayor and Board of Trustees have formally adopted. Because those supplemental rules carry the same legal weight and the same penalty provisions as the chapter, tenants can raise violations of either the ordinance or its implementing regulations in the same way. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nyack's local rules can help identify what regulations, if any, have been adopted under § 263-14 and what enforcement paths are available.
