Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162A-15
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall take effect immediately. No violation of this chapter shall be charged prior to August 1, 2014.
Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A § 162A-15 establishes that the rental regulations in Chapter 162A became operative immediately upon adoption, but enforcement of violations was not permitted before August 1, 2014. This created a grace period during which the rules were technically in force yet no party could be cited or penalized for noncompliance. The provision effectively gave property owners and tenants time to become aware of and adjust to the new requirements before formal enforcement began.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Greece, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162A § 162A-15, the chapter's requirements were active from the moment of adoption, meaning compliant operators generally familiarized themselves with all obligations in Chapter 162A before the August 1, 2014 enforcement start date. Property owners and managers typically use such grace periods to audit their practices, update lease terms, and bring rental units into conformity with the new standards. Any violations occurring on or after August 1, 2014 were subject to enforcement under the chapter.
