Hamburg Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 165 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 165-12
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall become effective immediately upon its enactment by the Town Board, after proper filing, including with the offices of the State Comptroller and the Secretary of State.
Section 165-12 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 165 establishes when the chapter's rules take legal effect. Rather than setting a delayed start date, the provision specifies that the chapter becomes operative immediately once the Town Board formally enacts it and completes the required state-level filings, including submissions to the offices of the New York State Comptroller and the Secretary of State. This means there is no grace period between enactment and enforcement — the rules apply as soon as the procedural requirements are satisfied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 165-12 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 165, property owners and managers should be aware that the chapter's obligations attached immediately upon the Town Board's enactment and proper filing with state offices. Compliant operators generally track the official enactment date and confirm that state filing requirements were completed, since those two events together mark the moment the chapter's rules became binding. Staying current on the effective date helps ensure that operational practices align with the chapter from the correct starting point.

Section 165-12 of Hamburg Town Code Chapter 165 means that the protections and rules contained in the chapter were in force from the moment of enactment and proper state filing — tenants are not subject to a waiting period before the chapter's provisions apply. If a question arises about whether the chapter was in effect at a particular time, the relevant inquiry centers on when the Town Board enacted it and when filings with the State Comptroller and Secretary of State were completed. Tenants who believe the chapter's rules were applicable to a situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the Town's official records to confirm the precise effective date.
