Baldwinsville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 255 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 255-10
Applicability
Operative Text
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to dwellings designed and used exclusively for occupancy as hotels, motels, transient homes or establishments of like nature.
Section 255-10 of Baldwinsville's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 255, carves out an exemption from the chapter's requirements for certain short-term or transient lodging facilities. Specifically, buildings that are both designed and actively used exclusively as hotels, motels, transient homes, or similar establishments fall outside the chapter's scope. This means the regulatory obligations established elsewhere in Chapter 255 do not attach to those property types.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 255-10, operators of conventional rental dwellings — apartments, houses, and similar residential units — remain fully subject to Chapter 255's requirements, since the exemption is limited to properties designed and used exclusively for transient occupancy. Landlords who own mixed-use or converted properties should be aware that the exemption requires both design and exclusive use as a transient establishment, meaning partial or incidental transient use is unlikely to qualify. Compliant residential landlords generally maintain records and practices that demonstrate their properties fall within the chapter's covered categories.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 255-10 establishes that the protections and rules in Chapter 255 are intended for residents of conventional dwellings, not guests of hotels, motels, or similar transient facilities. If you occupy a property as a long-term residential tenant, this exemption generally does not affect your ability to invoke Chapter 255's provisions. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing type falls within or outside the chapter's scope may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or review the full text of Chapter 255 alongside § 255-10.
