Oswego, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 149 § 149-4
Applicability
Operative Text
This Part 1 shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts or to transient-type occupancies and uses, including, but not limited to, nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers and trailer parks and other forms of temporary housing.
Chapter 149, Part 1 of Oswego's Code of Ordinances carves out certain housing categories from its coverage entirely. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancy types—such as nursing homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, and travel trailers—fall outside the scope of this part. The regulation's requirements and protections simply do not extend to those dwelling types under § 149-4.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of conventional rental housing in Oswego should be aware that § 149-4 defines the boundaries of Part 1's reach. Landlords running hotels, motels, nursing homes, mobile home courts, or similar transient or temporary facilities are not subject to Part 1's obligations, while those managing standard residential rentals generally are. Compliant operators of covered properties typically confirm their property type falls within Part 1's scope before applying its requirements.

Under § 149-4, residents of certain facility types—including hotels, motels, nursing homes, mobile home courts, and farm labor camps—do not have access to the protections that Part 1 of Chapter 149 provides. Tenants in conventional rental housing in Oswego, by contrast, are generally within the ordinance's coverage. Those uncertain about whether their housing type qualifies may find it useful to consult the Oswego city offices or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
