Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 § 155-2.1
Maximum rent and sales price
Operative Text
The maximum monthly rent and the maximum sales price for an affordable housing unit and a workforce housing unit shall be established in accordance with the City of Peekskill Policies and Procedures for Affordable and Workforce Housing.
Under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 § 155-2.1, the highest allowable monthly rent and purchase price for affordable and workforce housing units in Peekskill are not set by this ordinance directly, but are instead determined by a separate city policy document — the City of Peekskill Policies and Procedures for Affordable and Workforce Housing. This means the specific dollar figures can be updated through that administrative framework without amending the ordinance itself. Both rental and for-sale units designated as affordable or workforce housing are subject to these externally established caps.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating affordable or workforce housing units in Peekskill must look to the City of Peekskill Policies and Procedures for Affordable and Workforce Housing — the document referenced in ch. 155 § 155-2.1 — to determine the current permissible rent and sales price ceilings for their units. Compliant operators typically obtain and review the most current version of that policy document before setting rents or listing units for sale, since the caps may be updated independently of the ordinance. Charging amounts above the established maximums would place a property out of compliance with § 155-2.1.
