Scope
Operative Text
This Part 1 shall apply to existing and to future residential premises, as follows: A. Lots, plots or parcels of land which are vacant and which are located in districts zoned for residential use. B. Lots, plots or parcels of land on which buildings devoted to residential use or occupancy, mixed occupancy buildings or accessory structures are located. C. Buildings devoted to residential use or occupancy, including one- and two-family dwellings and multiple dwellings, mixed occupancy buildings and accessory structures.
Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 168 § 168-3 establishes the reach of Part 1's property maintenance rules, covering a broad range of residential real estate within the city. The provision applies not only to buildings already in use for housing—including single-family homes, two-family homes, multi-unit dwellings, and mixed-use buildings—but also to vacant land that is zoned for residential purposes. Accessory structures, such as garages or sheds associated with residential properties, fall within scope as well.
