Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 228-1

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Delhi has determined that there exist in the Village of Delhi issues arising from the rental of dwelling units that may be substandard or in violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the New York State Multiple Residence Law , or other state or local codes; dwelling units that are inadequate in size, overcrowded and dangerous, that tend to promote or encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Village, create blight, excessive vehicular traffic and parking problems and that tend to overburden municipal services. The Board of Trustees finds that the Village has transient residents, many of whom occupy rental housing within the Village and whose members have generated a disproportionate number of complaints of public nuisances, including, but not limited to noise, property damage, and property neglect. The Board of Trustees further finds that current Village Code provisions must be enforced to halt the proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety, welfare, good order and governance of the Village will be enhanced by enactment of the regulations set forth in this chapter, which regulations are remedial in nature and effect. The intent of the local law is to preserve the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Village by maintaining a registration accountability system.
