Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 168 § 168-4
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
A. This Part 1 shall not apply to mobile housing premises or migrant housing premises or to nursing, convalescent and old-age homes, or similar institutional occupancies. B. This Part 1 shall not apply to fallout shelters constructed or installed to provide safety and security to occupants in accordance with specifications and standards contained in regulations or orders issued by the New York State Civil Defense Commission or other analogous or successor body.
Section 168-4 of Glen Cove's Code of Ordinances Chapter 168 carves out specific categories of housing from the requirements of Part 1. Mobile housing premises, migrant housing premises, nursing homes, convalescent homes, old-age homes, and similar institutional occupancies are all excluded from Part 1's coverage. Additionally, fallout shelters built or installed in compliance with specifications set by the New York State Civil Defense Commission or a successor body are likewise exempt from Part 1's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties that fall within the exempt categories listed in § 168-4 — such as mobile or migrant housing, nursing or convalescent facilities, or qualifying fallout shelters — are generally not subject to the obligations imposed by Part 1 of Chapter 168. Compliant operators of fallout shelters typically maintain documentation showing that the shelter was constructed in accordance with New York State Civil Defense Commission standards or those of an analogous successor body. Operators of conventional residential rental properties should note that these exemptions are narrow and do not extend to standard rental housing.

Section 168-4 defines the boundaries of who is protected by Part 1 of Glen Cove's Chapter 168, and residents of mobile housing, migrant housing, nursing homes, old-age homes, or qualifying fallout shelters may find that Part 1's protections do not apply to their living situation. Tenants who are uncertain whether their housing falls within one of these exempt categories may benefit from reviewing the full text of Chapter 168 or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information. Understanding whether an exemption applies can be relevant when evaluating what rights and remedies may be available under Glen Cove's housing regulations.
