Haverstraw Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 169 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 169-14
Adoption of rules and regulations
Operative Text
The Mayor and the Board of Trustees are hereby authorized to make and to adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, provided that such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter and the penalty for violation of the provisions of this chapter, as hereinafter provided.
Section 169-14 of Haverstraw Village's rent regulations grants the Mayor and Board of Trustees the authority to create written rules and regulations needed to carry out and enforce the broader rent chapter. Any rules they adopt carry the same legal weight as the chapter itself, and violations of those rules are subject to the same penalties established elsewhere in Chapter 169. Importantly, no rule or regulation adopted under this authority may contradict the underlying chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 169-14, the Mayor and Board of Trustees may issue supplemental written rules that flesh out how Chapter 169 is administered and enforced. Operators who stay current with any rules or regulations formally adopted under this provision will be better positioned to maintain compliance, since those rules carry the same force as the ordinance itself. Checking with the Village of Haverstraw directly for any officially adopted regulations under this section is a common practice among compliant property managers.

Section 169-14 means that the Village's enforcement framework can be expanded through official written rules adopted by the Mayor and Board of Trustees, all of which carry the same legal weight as Chapter 169 itself. If a landlord is alleged to have violated one of those supplemental rules, the same penalties that apply to the chapter's core provisions would apply. Tenants who believe a rule adopted under § 169-14 has been violated may wish to contact the Village of Haverstraw directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available complaint and enforcement paths.
