Section 128-55 of Freeport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 128 defines the scope of the article by specifying which types of residential properties fall under its rules.

Under Freeport Code § 128-55, operators of apartment buildings, townhouses, condominiums, cooperatives, multi-family dwellings, and non-owner-occupied single-family rentals are all subject to the requirements of this article. Compliant property managers typically confirm whether their specific property type falls within this scope before determining their obligations under the broader chapter. Owners of single-family homes who reside in the property should still verify their status, as the distinction between owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied is the key threshold under this section.
