Cal. Civ. Code § 64
  § 64. One story transient dwellings. The only provisions of article
four which shall apply to one story transient dwellings in existence on
July first, nineteen hundred fifty-two, shall be sections sixty,
sixty-one, sixty-five and title two.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 64 establishes a limited applicability rule for one-story transient dwellings that were already in existence as of July 1, 1952. Rather than subjecting these older structures to all of Article Four's requirements, the provision narrows the applicable rules to only sections 60, 61, 65, and Title Two of that article. All other Article Four provisions are effectively carved out and do not govern these particular buildings.

For Property Managers

Operators of one-story transient dwellings that were in existence before July 1, 1952 should be aware that under N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 64, their compliance obligations under Article Four are limited to sections 60, 61, 65, and Title Two. A compliant operator of such a property generally focuses maintenance and regulatory attention on those enumerated sections rather than the full breadth of Article Four. Owners managing properties that may fall into this category typically verify the structure's age and classification to confirm whether this narrowed scope applies.

For Tenants

Tenants residing in one-story transient dwellings built before July 1, 1952 should be aware that N.Y. Mult. Resid. Law § 64 limits which Article Four protections formally apply to their building, specifically sections 60, 61, 65, and Title Two. Understanding which provisions govern a particular dwelling type can be relevant when evaluating housing conditions or potential violations. Tenants seeking to understand how these rules affect their situation may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant housing authority for guidance.
