Scope
Operative Text
This chapter shall be applicable to the following: A. Lots, plots, or parcels of land on which are located buildings devoted to residential use or occupancy, mixed-occupancy buildings, or accessory structures. B. Buildings devoted to residential use or occupancy, including one- and two-family dwellings and multiple dwellings, mixed-occupancy buildings and accessory structures.

Auburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 182 § 182-3 defines the reach of the city's property maintenance chapter, applying it to residential land and buildings—including single-family homes, two-family homes, and multi-unit dwellings—as well as mixed-use buildings and accessory structures. The provision carves out one notable exception: migrant housing is not covered here but is instead regulated exclusively under Chapter F of the Uniform Code. In short, the scope of Chapter 182 is broad, touching nearly all residential properties in Auburn except that specific category.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating any residential building in Auburn—whether a single-family home, duplex, apartment complex, or mixed-use structure—should be aware that Chapter 182 § 182-3 brings their properties within the city's maintenance and occupancy rules. Compliant operators typically confirm which regulatory framework applies to each property type they manage, particularly if they operate migrant housing, which falls outside Chapter 182 and is governed solely by Chapter F of the Uniform Code. Keeping clear records of property classifications helps ensure the correct set of standards is applied to each site.

Tenants living in residential properties in Auburn—including single-family rentals, duplexes, and apartment buildings—should know that Chapter 182 § 182-3 places their housing within the scope of the city's residential maintenance regulations. Migrant housing tenants are a notable exception, as their housing is governed exclusively by Chapter F of the Uniform Code rather than Chapter 182. Tenants who believe their housing type is misclassified or that the wrong regulatory framework is being applied may consider reaching out to the city's code enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
