Applicability of statute accepted
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees, following a public hearing held on the enactment of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, declares a housing emergency in the Village of Mount Kisco based on a finding of a vacancy rate of less than 5% and enacts the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, effective November 19, 1979, applicable to buildings containing 16 or more housing units as described in the attachment entitled "Apartments in Mount Kisco Subject to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974."
Section 74-6 of the Mount Kisco Code formally records the Village Board of Trustees' decision to adopt the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 (ETPA) for Mount Kisco, effective November 19, 1979. The adoption was triggered by an official finding that the local rental vacancy rate fell below 5%, which constitutes a housing emergency under state law. The ETPA's protections apply specifically to residential buildings containing 16 or more housing units that are listed in the attachment referenced in this section.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mount Kisco Code ch. 74 § 74-6, operators of rental buildings with 16 or more units in Mount Kisco are subject to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 as locally enacted. Compliant operators generally determine whether their specific property appears on the referenced attachment—'Apartments in Mount Kisco Subject to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974'—and manage those units in accordance with ETPA requirements. Staying current with the ETPA's rent and lease-renewal obligations is a standard part of operating a covered building in the Village.

Section 74-6 establishes that tenants living in Mount Kisco buildings with 16 or more units may be entitled to the protections of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974, which was adopted locally due to a declared housing emergency.
