Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.23
Renumbering Allowed by City Clerk
Operative Text
The Sections of this Section and references thereto may be renumbered by the City Clerk for the purpose only of conforming it to this code.
Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.23 is an administrative housekeeping provision that authorizes the City Clerk to renumber sections within this part of the code solely to keep the numbering consistent with the broader municipal code structure. It does not change any substantive rights or obligations — it only allows for clerical reorganization. Any renumbering carried out under this authority is purely a formatting adjustment, not a policy change.

Under Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.23, property owners and managers should be aware that section numbers within this chapter may be updated by the City Clerk over time for organizational purposes. A compliant operator generally keeps track of current section citations when referencing the rent regulations in leases, notices, or filings, since a number may shift without any change to the underlying rule. Checking the current version of the municipal code when preparing documents helps ensure citations remain accurate.

Boston Municipal Code ch. 10-2 § 10-2.23 means that if a section number you have seen referenced in a lease, notice, or complaint changes over time, the underlying rule it describes has not necessarily changed — the City Clerk may simply have renumbered it for consistency with the broader code. Tenants who encounter a citation that seems unfamiliar or outdated can look up the current Boston Municipal Code through the city's official resources or consult a tenant-rights organization to locate the applicable provision. This provision has no effect on tenant rights or landlord obligations themselves.
