Malta, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 84 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 84-8
Violations
Operative Text
Violations of this article shall be reported to the Fair Housing Officer for referral to the Town Board of the Town of Malta.
Section 84-8 of Malta, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 84 establishes a reporting pathway for fair housing violations: when a violation of the article occurs, it is directed to the Fair Housing Officer, who then refers the matter to the Town Board of the Town of Malta for further action. The provision creates a structured chain of accountability within the local government rather than allowing violations to be handled informally. It does not specify penalties on its face, but routes enforcement through designated municipal officials.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in the Town of Malta should be aware that under § 84-8, any alleged violation of the fair housing article is subject to referral to the Town Board through the Fair Housing Officer. Operators who maintain fair housing compliance practices—such as consistent application of rental criteria and documented non-discriminatory procedures—are generally better positioned when municipal review occurs. Familiarity with the full scope of Chapter 84 helps ensure that day-to-day operations align with the article's requirements.

Under Malta, N.Y., Code of Ordinances § 84-8, tenants who believe a fair housing violation has occurred have a defined reporting channel: violations are to be reported to the Fair Housing Officer, who refers the matter to the Town Board of the Town of Malta. Tenants can document incidents and bring them to the Fair Housing Officer's attention as a starting point for the municipal review process. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service can help in understanding what information to gather and what other enforcement avenues—such as state or federal fair housing agencies—may also be available.
