Fallsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 156 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 156-44
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This article shall not apply to premises which are not within the scope of applicable housing standards.
Section 156-44 of Fallsburg's Code of Ordinances establishes a boundary on the reach of the article it belongs to: if a given premises falls outside the scope of applicable housing standards, the article's requirements simply do not apply to it. This is a scoping or carve-out provision rather than an affirmative rule imposing duties. The practical effect is that certain properties may be exempt from the article's obligations depending on whether they meet the threshold definition of 'applicable housing standards.'
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 156-44, operators whose properties fall outside the scope of applicable housing standards are not subject to the requirements of this article. Compliant operators generally document the classification or status of their properties to substantiate any claimed exemption and retain records that support that determination. Understanding whether a specific property qualifies for this nonapplicability carve-out typically involves reviewing the definitions and scope provisions elsewhere in Chapter 156.

If a landlord claims this exemption, tenants have the option of raising the question of coverage through available local channels, such as a municipal housing office or code enforcement body.
