Poughkeepsie Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162-4
Automatic sunset of provisions
Operative Text
Pursuant to § 7(b) of Chapter 56, Part HH, of the Laws of the State of New York of 2024, this article shall automatically expire and be repealed on June 15, 2034, unless Article 6-a of the New York State Real Property Law is extended or otherwise amended to remain in force and effect by the State of New York prior to such automatic repeal date.
Section 162-4 of Poughkeepsie Town's rental regulations establishes an automatic expiration date: the entire article will cease to have legal effect on June 15, 2034, unless New York State acts before that date to extend or amend Article 6-a of the Real Property Law. This sunset clause is tied directly to a 2024 state law, meaning the local ordinance's lifespan depends on future state legislative action. If the state does not act, the local rules created under this article will be automatically repealed without any additional local vote.

Property owners and managers operating under Poughkeepsie Town Code ch. 162 § 162-4 should be aware that the obligations and protections established by this article are time-limited, with a built-in expiration of June 15, 2034. Compliant operators generally monitor state legislative developments regarding Article 6-a of the New York State Real Property Law, since any extension or amendment at the state level would directly affect whether local requirements continue past that date. Staying informed about changes to the underlying state law helps operators anticipate whether the local framework will remain in place or lapse.
