Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 433-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
The Incorporated Village Board has determined that there exist in the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale serious conditions arising from the rental of dwelling units that are substandard or in violation of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale Code and New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, are inadequate in size, are overcrowded and dangerous, create blight, tend to overburden municipal services, pose a danger to life, limb and property and promote or encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale. The Board of Trustees finds that new code provisions will serve to halt the proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety, welfare and good order and the governance of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale will be enhanced by enactment of the regulations set forth in this chapter.
Section 433-1 of Farmingdale's Code of Ordinances sets out the legislative intent behind the village's rental dwelling regulations. The Incorporated Village Board formally recognized that substandard, overcrowded, or code-violating rental units create dangers to residents, strain municipal services, and contribute to neighborhood blight. This chapter was enacted to address those conditions and promote public health, safety, and welfare throughout the village.
