Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 166 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 166-6
Adoption of rules and regulations by enforcement officer
Operative Text
The enforcement officer shall recommend rules and regulations as may be deemed reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter which shall be adopted only upon approval of the Village Board.
Section 166-6 of Johnson City, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 166 establishes a two-step process for creating administrative rules under the chapter: the enforcement officer proposes rules and regulations deemed reasonably necessary to carry out the chapter's provisions, but those rules only take effect after the Village Board formally approves them. This means neither the enforcement officer alone nor the Village Board alone can unilaterally create binding rules — both must act. The provision ensures a check on regulatory authority within the local housing enforcement framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 166-6 of Johnson City's Code of Ordinances Chapter 166, the rules and regulations that govern how the chapter is enforced are shaped by the enforcement officer but must be approved by the Village Board before they carry any legal weight. Compliant property operators generally stay current with any rules formally adopted through this process, since those are the standards against which their properties will be measured. Monitoring Village Board meeting agendas and official notices is a common way operators track newly adopted regulations under this chapter.

If a rule or regulation is being applied against you or your landlord, it is worth understanding whether that rule was properly adopted under this two-step process.
