Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-3
Scope
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to residential premises as follows: A. Lots, plots or parcels of land on which residential buildings, buildings of mixed occupancy or accessory structures are located. B. Residential buildings, including one- and two-family dwellings and multiple dwellings. C. Residential occupancies in buildings of mixed occupancy. D. Accessory structures, accessory to residential occupancies.
Section 116-3 of Thomaston's Code of Ordinances defines the physical scope of Chapter 116, establishing that its rules cover a broad range of residential property types. This includes single-family homes, two-family dwellings, multi-unit buildings, mixed-use buildings where people live, and accessory structures tied to residential use. The provision also extends coverage to the land parcels on which these structures sit, meaning the chapter's requirements are not limited to the buildings themselves.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 116-3, property owners and managers should recognize that Chapter 116 applies not only to standalone residential buildings but also to mixed-use properties with residential occupancies and any accessory structures on the same lot. Operators of one- and two-family homes, apartment buildings, and mixed-occupancy properties in Thomaston are all within the chapter's reach. Maintaining compliance across all structures on a covered parcel—including garages, sheds, or other accessory buildings—is consistent with the broad scope this section establishes.
