Cal. Civ. Code § 200
Application of article six
Operative Text
§ 200. Application of article six. The provisions of this article shall apply only to fireproof new multiple dwellings of permanent or transient occupancy, and shall apply in addition to and not in substitution for the provisions of articles two and five, and in the case of transient dwellings, sections fifty-three, fifty-six, and sixty-one of article four.
New York Multiple Residence Law § 200 defines the scope of Article Six, limiting its requirements to fireproof new multiple dwellings—whether used for permanent or transient occupancy. Importantly, Article Six does not replace the obligations found in Articles Two and Five; instead, it layers on top of them. For transient dwellings specifically, certain sections from Article Four (sections 53, 56, and 61) also continue to apply alongside Article Six.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of fireproof new multiple dwellings subject to N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 200 generally maintain compliance with Article Six requirements while simultaneously satisfying the standards set out in Articles Two and Five. Those managing transient occupancy buildings also account for the additional requirements of Article Four sections 53, 56, and 61. A compliant operator does not treat Article Six as a standalone framework but rather as one layer within a broader set of overlapping obligations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants residing in fireproof new multiple dwellings—whether on a permanent or transient basis—benefit from protections drawn from multiple articles of the Multiple Residence Law, not just Article Six, as established by § 200. This means that if a landlord fails to meet standards under Articles Two, Five, or the relevant Article Four sections, those failures may be raised independently of any Article Six concerns. Tenants who believe applicable standards are not being met can consult a local tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant housing enforcement agency to understand which overlapping provisions may apply to their building.
