Plandome Manor, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees has determined that there exist in the Village of Plandome Manor serious conditions arising from the rental of dwelling units that are substandard or in violation of the Village Code and New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, are inadequate in size, are overcrowded and dangerous, create blight, tend to overburden municipal services, pose a danger to life, limb and property and promote or encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Village. The Board of Trustees finds that new Code provisions will serve to halt the proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety, welfare and good order and the governance of the Village will be enhanced by enactment of the regulations set forth in this article.
Section 165-1 of Plandome Manor's Code of Ordinances sets out the legislative intent behind the village's rental dwelling regulations. The Board of Trustees identified a range of housing problems — including substandard conditions, code violations, overcrowding, and deterioration of the housing stock — as justifications for enacting new rules. This provision does not itself impose specific requirements but establishes the public-health, safety, and welfare rationale that underlies the rest of Chapter 165.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Chapter 165, as introduced by § 165-1, was enacted specifically because the Board of Trustees found that substandard and overcrowded rental units were harming the village community. Operators of rental dwelling units in Plandome Manor generally maintain properties in compliance with both the Village Code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code to align with the goals this article was designed to achieve. Understanding the legislative intent stated in § 165-1 can help property owners appreciate why the substantive requirements elsewhere in Chapter 165 exist.

Section 165-1 reflects the Village of Plandome Manor's formal recognition that substandard, overcrowded, or code-violating rental units pose real dangers to residents' health, safety, and property. Tenants living in conditions that resemble those described in § 165-1 — such as overcrowding, dangerous conditions, or violations of the Village Code or New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code — may have grounds to raise concerns under Chapter 165. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with the village, raising code violations as a defense in relevant proceedings, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing regulations.
