Valley Stream, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 46A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 46A-20
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of the State of New York.
Section 46A-20 of Valley Stream's rental regulations (Chapter 46A) establishes when the chapter's rules become legally operative. The provisions of Chapter 46A took effect at the moment the ordinance was filed with the New York Secretary of State, rather than on a delayed or phased schedule. This means there was no grace period between filing and the chapter's legal force.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 46A-20, Chapter 46A's requirements became binding on property owners and managers at the instant of filing with the Secretary of State of New York. Compliant operators generally ensure they are aware of the effective date of any local ordinance so that required practices are in place from day one. Reviewing the filing date of Chapter 46A helps establish when all obligations under the chapter first applied.

Section 46A-20 confirms that the protections and rules established in Chapter 46A of Valley Stream's Code of Ordinances were in force immediately upon the ordinance's filing with the New York Secretary of State.

Tenants who believe rights under Chapter 46A were not honored from the effective date onward may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the filing date through public records.
