Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 161 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 161-1
Multiple dwellings: applicability of Multiple Dwelling Law and New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code
Operative Text
All of the provisions now and hereafter contained in the Multiple Dwelling Law of the State of New York and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code shall apply and be regarded as applicable to multiple dwellings in the village.
Section 161-1 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances establishes that multiple dwellings within the village are subject to both the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, including any future amendments to those laws. This provision effectively incorporates state-level housing and fire-safety standards into local law, meaning the full body of those state requirements governs residential buildings with multiple units in Lynbrook. The rule does not create new local standards but ensures that state protections and obligations apply at the village level.

Under ch. 161 § 161-1, operators of multiple dwellings in Lynbrook are generally expected to maintain compliance with both the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code as those laws exist at any given time. Because the provision incorporates future amendments automatically, compliant operators typically monitor updates to both state codes and adjust building maintenance, safety systems, and operational practices accordingly. Familiarity with the full scope of both state frameworks—covering areas such as structural maintenance, fire egress, and habitability—is central to lawful operation of a multi-unit property in the village.
