Operative Text
Domestic animals and pets shall be kept in an appropriate manner, and the owners and harborers thereof shall comply with all the provisions of Chapter 111 , Cats, and Chapter 112 , Dogs, of the Town Code.
Section 156-41 of Fallsburg's Code of Ordinances requires that domestic animals and pets be maintained in an appropriate manner within rental or residential properties. Owners and harborers of animals must also follow the Town's specific rules for cats and dogs found in Chapter 111 and Chapter 112 of the Town Code, respectively. This provision ties general animal-keeping standards to those more detailed chapters, creating a layered set of requirements for anyone who keeps pets.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 156-41, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that any domestic animals or pets kept on their properties are maintained appropriately and that residents comply with the Town's cat and dog ordinances (Chapters 111 and 112). Compliant operators typically include pet-related conduct requirements in lease agreements and address complaints about improper animal keeping promptly. Staying familiar with the cross-referenced chapters helps operators understand the full scope of animal-related obligations that apply to their properties.

Section 156-41 establishes that tenants who keep domestic animals or pets must do so in an appropriate manner and must follow Fallsburg's Chapter 111 (Cats) and Chapter 112 (Dogs) rules. Tenants have an interest in understanding what 'appropriate' keeping means under those cross-referenced chapters, as violations could affect their tenancy. Those with questions about how these requirements apply generally can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full Town Code for guidance.
