Rye, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-4
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to mobile homes and mobile home courts or to transient-type occupancies and uses, including but not limited to nursing and convalescent homes, hotels, motels, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers and trailer parks and other forms of temporary housing.
Chapter 108 of Rye, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances, Section 108-4, carves out certain categories of housing from the chapter's coverage entirely. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancies—such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, tourist camps, farm labor camps, and travel trailers—fall outside the chapter's scope. Any rules, protections, or obligations established elsewhere in Chapter 108 simply do not apply to these property types or uses.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties covered by § 108-4's exclusions—including hotels, motels, mobile home courts, nursing homes, and similar transient or temporary facilities in Rye—should be aware that Chapter 108 does not govern their operations. Compliant operators of these excluded property types look to other applicable local, state, or federal regulations rather than Chapter 108 for their compliance obligations. Keeping clear records of a property's classification and use can help demonstrate that an exclusion under § 108-4 legitimately applies.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you reside in a mobile home, hotel, motel, nursing home, or another form of temporary housing listed in § 108-4, the protections and requirements of Rye's Chapter 108 do not extend to your living arrangement. Residents in these excluded categories may still have rights under other local ordinances, New York State law, or federal regulations. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help identify which alternative frameworks, if any, apply to a particular type of excluded occupancy.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
