Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 414 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 414-3
Applicability; construal of provisions
Operative Text
A. Scope. This chapter shall apply to all rental dwelling units in mixed-occupancy buildings and multiple dwellings, 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. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to plans approved for filing by the Attorney General of condominium complexes and cooperative apartment complexes. Any dwelling unit, rooming house, rooming unit or any other premises subject to this chapter shall be presumed to be rented for a fee and a charge made if said premises are not occupied by the legal owner thereof. B. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, county or state or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this chapter and any applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail. The issuance of any permit or the filing of any form under this chapter does not make legal any action or statement of facts that is otherwise illegal under any other applicable legislation.
Mineola Code ch. 414 § 414-3 establishes which properties fall under the village's rental dwelling regulations: all rental units in mixed-occupancy buildings and multiple dwellings are covered, regardless of whether their use is permitted under local zoning rules, while condominiums and cooperatives approved by the New York State Attorney General are excluded. Any unit not occupied by its legal owner is presumed to be rented for a fee. This chapter is designed to work alongside—not replace—other applicable state and local laws, and when a conflict arises between this chapter and another rule, the stricter standard applies.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mineola Code ch. 414 § 414-3, operators of rental units in mixed-occupancy buildings and multiple dwellings are subject to this chapter's requirements even if a unit's use does not fully conform to local zoning. Compliant operators generally treat any non-owner-occupied unit as presumptively subject to rental regulations and maintain compliance with both this chapter and any overlapping state or local requirements—applying whichever standard is more stringent when the two conflict. Obtaining a permit or filing a form under this chapter does not cure any violation of other applicable laws, so operators typically review all relevant regulatory frameworks together.

Mineola Code ch. 414 § 414-3 broadly covers rental units in mixed-occupancy and multiple-dwelling buildings, meaning tenants in those settings generally have the protections this chapter provides regardless of a unit's zoning status. Because this chapter supplements rather than replaces other state and local laws, tenants may have additional rights under overlapping regulations, with the more protective standard prevailing in any conflict. Tenants who believe a landlord is not complying with this chapter's scope or related requirements may consider contacting the Village of Mineola directly, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or exploring available local complaint processes.
