Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 74-29
Administration Fees
Operative Text
The Huntington Community Development Agency shall receive the following fee for monitoring compliance with the provisions of this Chapter: (A) One (1%) percent on the initial sale of the contract price, one (1%) percent of the contract sales price per transfer in years one through five of ownership, two (2%) percent of the contract sales price per transfer in years six through ten (10) of ownership, and three (3%) of the contract sales price per transfer in years eleven (11) and beyond of owner-occupied affordable unit paid by the seller at or prior to closing; and (B) One month's rent per rental unit paid by the property owner upon approval of the lease agreement by the Director. In addition, a $50.00 fee will be paid by the property owner per rental unit at the time of recertification of the tenant.
Section 74-29 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 74 establishes the administrative fees that the Huntington Community Development Agency collects to fund its oversight of the affordable housing program. For owner-occupied affordable units, a fee equal to a percentage of the contract sales price is due from the seller at or before closing, with the rate rising from 1% in early years of ownership to 3% after eleven years. For rental units, the property owner owes one month's rent when a lease is approved, plus a $50 recertification fee per unit when a tenant's eligibility is renewed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of affordable units subject to ch. 74 § 74-29 generally account for two distinct fee obligations. Sellers of owner-occupied affordable units typically ensure the applicable percentage of the contract sales price—ranging from 1% to 3% depending on how long the unit has been owned—is remitted to the Huntington Community Development Agency at or before closing. Landlords renting affordable units under this chapter typically submit one month's rent per unit upon the Director's approval of each lease agreement and budget for the $50 per-unit recertification fee each time a tenant's eligibility is renewed.

Section 74-29 of ch. 74 governs fees paid by sellers and property owners to the Huntington Community Development Agency, not fees charged directly to tenants. Tenants in affordable rental units may find it useful to understand that the $50 recertification fee and the one-month's-rent lease approval fee are obligations placed on the property owner, not the renter. If a tenant believes fees are being improperly passed through or that the recertification process is being mishandled, local tenant-rights organizations or the Huntington Community Development Agency itself can be consulted for general information about how the program operates.
