Mamaroneck Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 222 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 222-6
Additional municipal procedures
Operative Text
In addition to the sanctions and remedies set forth in § 222-5 above, the Village Attorney is authorized to apply for an order in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain any violation of any provision of this chapter. The Village Attorney is authorized to seek from a court of competent jurisdiction a temporary injunction or restraining order preventing the disposition of the premises to other than the aggrieved person during the pendency of the complaint alleging discrimination.
Section 222-6 of Mamaroneck Village's Code of Ordinances grants the Village Attorney two distinct court-based tools to enforce the village's anti-discrimination housing chapter. Beyond the sanctions already available under § 222-5, the Village Attorney may seek a court order compelling compliance with or halting any violation of the chapter. Additionally, while a discrimination complaint is pending, the Village Attorney may ask a court to temporarily block the sale or transfer of the housing unit at issue so that the aggrieved person's potential remedy is preserved.

Under § 222-6, property owners and managers in Mamaroneck Village should be aware that non-compliance with the anti-discrimination chapter can trigger not only the penalties described in § 222-5 but also direct court intervention sought by the Village Attorney. A compliant operator generally ensures that no disposition of a rental or sale property occurs in a manner that could be construed as circumventing a pending discrimination complaint. Operators familiar with this provision understand that a court injunction or restraining order can freeze a property transaction mid-process if a complaint is filed.

Section 222-6 provides an important procedural protection for tenants or prospective tenants in Mamaroneck Village who believe they have experienced housing discrimination under the chapter. If a complaint is filed, the Village Attorney—not the individual complainant—has authority to ask a court to temporarily prevent the property from being transferred to someone else while the complaint is pending, helping to preserve the possibility of a meaningful remedy. Individuals who believe their rights under this chapter have been violated may wish to contact the Village Attorney's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand how the procedures under § 222-6 might apply to their circumstances.
