Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 § 155-7
Administrative and monitoring agency
Operative Text
The City may designate a qualified not-for-profit organization to handle the marketing, income and other eligibility requirements and monitoring applicable to the affordable and workforce housing units. The costs of such administration and monitoring shall be borne by the developer/owner in accordance with a fee schedule approved by the City.
Under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 § 155-7, the City is authorized to assign oversight of affordable and workforce housing units to a qualified nonprofit organization rather than managing those functions directly. That nonprofit would handle tasks such as marketing the units, verifying applicant income, and confirming other eligibility criteria. The costs associated with this administration and monitoring are the financial responsibility of the developer or owner, based on a fee schedule that the City must approve.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Developers and property owners subject to ch. 155 § 155-7 should be prepared to work with whichever qualified nonprofit the City designates to oversee marketing, income verification, and eligibility monitoring for affordable and workforce units. Compliant operators typically budget for and pay the administrative and monitoring fees set by the City-approved fee schedule, rather than treating those costs as optional. Staying current with any updates to the fee schedule and maintaining open communication with the designated organization are practices commonly associated with smooth compliance.
