Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-50
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This Part 2 shall not apply to premises which are not within the scope of applicable housing standards.
Section 245-50 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes a boundary on the reach of Part 2's rent regulations: they do not extend to premises that fall outside the scope of applicable housing standards. In other words, if a property is not subject to those underlying housing standards, the protections and requirements of Part 2 simply do not apply to it. This is a scoping or carve-out provision rather than an affirmative rule imposing obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-50, operators of properties that fall outside the scope of applicable housing standards are not governed by Part 2 of Chapter 245. Compliant operators generally confirm whether their specific property type meets the threshold definition of 'applicable housing standards' before assuming Part 2 obligations apply or do not apply. Keeping documentation of a property's classification can help demonstrate compliance with this scoping provision.

Section 245-50 means that Part 2's tenant protections only extend to premises that are within the scope of applicable housing standards, so a tenant's first step in understanding their rights is determining whether their unit meets that threshold. Tenants who are uncertain about whether their housing qualifies can reach out to the Sleepy Hollow village offices or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. If a landlord claims Part 2 does not apply under § 245-50, tenants may wish to explore whether that classification is accurate before accepting it.
