Ossining, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 62 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 62-7
Applicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall: A. Not apply to residential developments which have agreed to provide a set-aside for affordable housing under the adopted policy and/or land disposition and development agreement with the Village of Ossining, fully executed prior to the effective date of this chapter. B. Not apply to residential developments whose residential development applications have been finally approved prior to the effective date of this chapter. C. Apply to all other residential developments which have not obtained building permits prior to the effective date of this chapter.
Section 62-7 of Ossining's Code of Ordinances Chapter 62 defines which residential developments fall under the chapter's rent regulations and which do not. Developments that had already committed to affordable housing set-asides through a fully executed agreement with the Village, or whose applications had received final approval, before the chapter's effective date are exempt. All other residential developments that had not yet obtained building permits as of that effective date are subject to the chapter's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 62-7, property owners and developers should determine whether their project falls into one of the two exemption categories — a pre-existing affordable housing set-aside agreement with the Village of Ossining, or a finally approved residential development application — both of which must predate the chapter's effective date. If neither exemption applies and building permits had not been obtained before that date, the development is subject to the full scope of Chapter 62. Operators of covered developments generally maintain documentation of permit timelines and any executed land disposition agreements to establish their compliance status.

Section 62-7 establishes the scope of Chapter 62's protections, which means tenants living in developments that were not exempt at the chapter's effective date may be entitled to the rights the chapter provides. If a tenant believes their building should be covered but the landlord is not complying, raising the applicability of § 62-7 is a recognized avenue — for example, by contacting a local tenant-rights organization or the Village of Ossining directly. Understanding whether a development obtained its building permits before or after the chapter's effective date is often central to determining whether Chapter 62's protections apply.
