Section 156-2 of Fallsburg's Code of Ordinances Chapter 156 defines the range of properties covered by the chapter's housing regulations.

Certain properties are carved out by a separate provision, § 156-3, which lists specific exclusions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 156-2, operators of virtually any residential property in Fallsburg — from single-family lots to multi-unit buildings and their accessory structures — are subject to the requirements of Chapter 156. Compliant operators typically confirm whether their specific property type falls within this scope or qualifies for an exclusion under § 156-3 before assuming the chapter does or does not apply. Keeping clear records of a property's classification and occupancy type is a common practice for demonstrating compliance.
