Gloversville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 170 § 170-4
Compliance required
Operative Text
No person shall occupy as owner-occupant or let or rent to another for occupancy any dwelling, rooming house, dwelling unit or rooming unit for the purpose of living, sleeping, cooking or eating therein which does not comply with the requirements of this chapter.
Section 170-4 of Gloversville's housing code establishes a baseline compliance requirement: no dwelling, rooming house, dwelling unit, or rooming unit may be occupied—whether by an owner-occupant or a tenant—unless it meets all standards set out in Chapter 170. The rule applies equally to the act of renting out a unit and to an owner living in their own property. Any space used for living, sleeping, cooking, or eating falls within the scope of this requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 170-4, a compliant property owner or manager ensures that every dwelling or rooming unit offered for rent or occupied meets all applicable requirements of Gloversville Code Chapter 170 before occupancy begins and throughout the tenancy. Operators generally conduct regular inspections of their properties to identify and correct any conditions that fall short of the chapter's standards. Maintaining documentation of repairs and inspections is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 170-4 establishes that any unit rented to you in Gloversville must comply with the full requirements of Chapter 170—meaning a landlord cannot lawfully rent a non-compliant space for living, sleeping, cooking, or eating. If a unit appears to fall short of these standards, tenants may consider contacting the appropriate Gloversville code enforcement office to report conditions or request an inspection.
