Purpose
Operative Text
There is hereby adopted by the City of Watervliet, for the purpose of prescribing regulations governing rented dwelling units in one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, and multiple dwellings in the City of Watervliet, a certain code as hereinafter set forth.
Section 176-1 of Watervliet's Code of Ordinances establishes the legal foundation for a local regulatory code that governs rented dwelling units across one-family, two-family, and multiple-dwelling buildings within the city. This provision serves as the enabling statement that authorizes the rules set out in the rest of Chapter 176. It does not itself impose specific requirements but signals that all covered rental housing in Watervliet is subject to the standards that follow in the chapter.

Compliant operators familiarize themselves with the full scope of Chapter 176 to understand which of their properties fall under its coverage. Because this provision applies broadly to rented dwelling units across building types, operators generally review all subsequent sections of the chapter to identify applicable obligations.
