Cal. Civ. Code § 100
Application of article five
Operative Text
§ 100. Application of article five. All the provisions of this article shall apply to every multiple dwelling of permanent or transient occupancy erected on or after July first, nineteen hundred fifty-two, and shall apply in addition to and not in substitution for the provisions of article two, articles six or seven, and in the case of transient dwellings, sections fifty-three, fifty-six, and sixty-one of article four.
N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 100 establishes the scope of Article Five of the Multiple Residence Law, directing that its requirements apply to every multiple dwelling—whether intended for permanent or transient occupancy—that was constructed on or after July 1, 1952. Crucially, Article Five's rules operate alongside, rather than in place of, other applicable articles and specific sections of the law, including Article Two, Articles Six and Seven, and, for transient dwellings, Sections 53, 56, and 61 of Article Four. The effect is that a qualifying building must satisfy multiple overlapping layers of the statute simultaneously.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and managers of multiple dwellings built on or after July 1, 1952 should be aware that N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 100 subjects those properties to the full set of Article Five requirements without releasing them from obligations under Article Two, Articles Six or Seven, or—for transient occupancy buildings—Sections 53, 56, and 61 of Article Four. Compliant operators generally review all applicable articles together rather than treating any single article as a complete checklist. Operators of transient dwellings in particular tend to audit compliance across the additional enumerated sections to account for the additive nature of the law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 100, residents of multiple dwellings built on or after July 1, 1952 are protected by Article Five standards in addition to—not instead of—the protections found in other parts of the Multiple Residence Law. This means a building's obligations are broader than any single article alone, and a potential violation of one article does not excuse non-compliance with another. Tenants who believe their building falls short of these overlapping standards can document concerns, raise applicable provisions as a defense in housing proceedings, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization or rent board for guidance on next steps.
