Amendments
Operative Text
The Village Board may, on its own initiative or on petition, amend, supplement or repeal the provisions of this chapter in conformity with applicable law after public notice and hearing.
Section 145-11 of Athens Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 145 establishes the process by which the Village Board can change the local rent regulations chapter. Changes may be initiated either by the Board itself or in response to a petition from outside parties, but any amendment, supplement, or repeal must follow applicable law and be preceded by public notice and a public hearing. This procedural requirement ensures community input before any modification to the chapter takes effect.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 145-11, property owners and managers should be aware that the rent regulations framework they operate under is subject to change through a formal Village Board process. Compliant operators generally monitor public notices and attend or review records of public hearings where amendments to ch. 145 may be considered. Staying informed about any pending amendments helps operators understand when their obligations under the chapter may shift.

Section 145-11 gives tenants and community members a formal avenue to influence local rent regulations, since the Village Board may act on a petition — not just on its own initiative. Because any change to ch. 145 requires public notice and a hearing, tenants generally have an opportunity to attend those hearings and provide comment before amendments take effect. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how to participate in the petition or public-hearing process under this provision.
