Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-5
Responsibilities of owner, occupant or agent
Operative Text
The owner, operator or agent in control of the building shall be responsible for the following: A. Limiting occupancy to the maximum number of occupants permitted. B. Posting required statements of the maximum number of occupants permitted.
Chapter 120, Section 120-5 of the Mamakating, N.Y., Code of Ordinances places responsibility on the owner, operator, or agent in control of a building to keep occupancy within the maximum number of occupants permitted by local code. The rule also requires that a statement of that maximum occupancy figure be posted in the building. These are affirmative duties tied to whoever controls the property, not the tenants themselves.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 120-5, compliant operators in Mamakating generally track the maximum permitted occupancy for each building and ensure that the number of residents does not exceed that figure. They also post a clearly visible statement of the maximum occupancy number as required by the ordinance. Maintaining documentation of occupancy limits and keeping posted notices current and legible are practices associated with meeting these obligations.

Section 120-5 places the duty to limit and post occupancy information squarely on the owner, operator, or agent — not on tenants. If a tenant believes a building is being operated in violation of these requirements, they may consider contacting the Town of Mamakating's code enforcement office to report the concern. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can also help residents understand how ch. 120 § 120-5 may be relevant to their situation.
