Procedures
Operative Text
The procedures applicable to summary proceedings to recover possession of real property under state law shall be applicable to any proceeding brought under this chapter.
Section 116-3 of Lackawanna, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 116 establishes that the same procedural rules used in standard state-law summary proceedings for recovering possession of real property also govern any proceeding brought under this chapter. In other words, the local ordinance does not create a separate or unique set of procedural steps; instead, it borrows the existing framework already established under New York State law. This ensures consistency between state and local eviction-related proceedings.
