Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-5
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
Parts 1 and 2 of 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.
Section 245-5 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances carves out specific categories of housing from the rent regulation rules established in Parts 1 and 2 of Chapter 245. Mobile homes, mobile home courts, and a range of transient or temporary occupancies—such as hotels, motels, nursing homes, convalescent homes, tourist camps, farm labor camps, travel trailers, and trailer parks—fall outside the chapter's coverage. The list is explicitly non-exhaustive, meaning other similar forms of temporary housing may also be excluded.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties covered by § 245-5's exemptions—including hotels, motels, mobile home courts, nursing homes, and similar transient or temporary housing facilities—are generally not subject to the rent regulation requirements of Parts 1 and 2 of Chapter 245. Compliant operators in these categories typically maintain records that clearly document the transient or temporary nature of their occupancies, which supports the applicability of the exemption. Because the exemption list in § 245-5 is non-exhaustive, operators of other temporary housing forms may also fall outside the chapter's scope.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 245-5 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances, residents of mobile homes, hotels, motels, nursing homes, and other transient or temporary housing arrangements are generally not entitled to the protections provided by Parts 1 and 2 of Chapter 245. Tenants who believe their housing situation has been incorrectly classified as transient or temporary—and thus improperly excluded from rent regulation protections—may wish to review the nature of their occupancy against the criteria implied by § 245-5. Local tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help clarify whether a particular living arrangement genuinely falls within one of the listed or analogous exempted categories.
