Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 433-20
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall be effective upon filing with the Secretary of State.
Section 433-20 of Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 433 establishes when the rent regulation chapter takes legal effect. The chapter became operative at the moment it was filed with the New York Secretary of State, which is the standard mechanism by which local laws in New York take effect. This provision does not impose any ongoing obligations but instead marks the legal starting point for the entire chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners and managers subject to Chapter 433, Section 433-20 confirms that the obligations and requirements set out in the chapter have been in force since the date the law was filed with the Secretary of State. Compliant operators generally keep records of when applicable local laws took effect so they can accurately determine which tenancies and transactions fall under the chapter's rules. Understanding this effective date helps operators assess which rental arrangements are governed by Chapter 433's provisions.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 433-20 establishes that the protections and rules in Chapter 433 apply from the date the chapter was filed with the Secretary of State, meaning any covered tenancy that began on or after that date falls under the chapter's framework. Tenants who want to confirm whether their tenancy is covered by Chapter 433 may look into the filing date with the Secretary of State or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance. Knowing the effective date can be relevant when evaluating whether a particular right or protection under Chapter 433 applies to a given rental situation.
