Massapequa Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 189 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 189-2
Scope
Operative Text
This article shall apply to all premises and rental dwelling units within such premises located within the Village of Massapequa Park, whether or not the use and occupancy thereof shall be permitted under the applicable use regulations for the zoning district in which such rental dwelling unit is located.
Section 189-2 of Massapequa Park's Code of Ordinances establishes that the rental housing article applies to every rental dwelling unit within the Village of Massapequa Park, regardless of whether the unit's use is permitted under local zoning rules. In other words, a unit does not escape coverage simply because it may be located in a zoning district where residential rentals are not technically allowed. The provision casts a broad net, ensuring that zoning status cannot be used as a shield against the article's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 189 § 189-2, operators of rental dwelling units in Massapequa Park should be aware that the article's obligations attach to every rental unit in the village, even those situated in zoning districts where rental use may not be formally permitted. Compliant operators generally do not assume that a unit's uncertain zoning status exempts them from the article's requirements. Reviewing all managed properties against the full scope of ch. 189 is a common practice for property owners seeking to maintain compliance.

Section 189-2 makes clear that renters living in any dwelling unit within Massapequa Park are covered by ch. 189, even if the unit occupies a zoning district where rentals are not officially permitted.

Tenants who believe their unit's coverage is being disputed may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full text of ch. 189 to understand what protections apply to their situation.
