Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 25 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 25-13
Administration and monitoring
Operative Text
The Village Board shall be responsible for facilitating the affordable housing program and monitoring compliance with the affordable housing requirements of this chapter and shall have the authority to promulgate rules and regulations as may be necessary to facilitate, administer, implement, and enforce this chapter. The Village Board may designate an administering entity to carry out the requirements of this chapter. If so designated, the administering entity will be responsible for monitoring the AFFH unit(s) during the units' period of affordability and for monitoring compliance by those creating the AFFH units.
Section 25-13 of Pelham's Code of Ordinances establishes the Village Board as the primary authority responsible for overseeing the village's affordable housing program. The Board holds the power to create rules and regulations needed to run, enforce, and implement the program, and it may delegate day-to-day administrative duties to a designated outside entity. When such an entity is appointed, that body takes on the responsibility of monitoring affordable housing units throughout their required affordability period and ensuring that developers or creators of those units remain in compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 25-13, property owners and developers who create Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) units should expect ongoing oversight from either the Village Board or a designated administering entity for the entire affordability period. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate records of unit eligibility, occupancy, and affordability restrictions so they can respond to monitoring inquiries. Staying informed about any rules or regulations promulgated by the Village Board under this section helps operators understand their continuing obligations.

Section 25-13 establishes that tenants living in AFFH units have the protection of an active monitoring structure, whether administered directly by the Village Board or through a designated entity, for as long as the unit's affordability period lasts. If a tenant believes that an AFFH unit is not being maintained in compliance with the affordable housing requirements of Chapter 25, they may consider reaching out to the Village Board or the designated administering entity to raise concerns. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local affordable housing programs can also help residents understand what protections apply under this provision.
