Mount Pleasant, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-6
Aiding or abetting prohibited
Operative Text
No person shall aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce the doing of any of the acts forbidden under this chapter or attempt to do so.
Section 98-6 of Mount Pleasant, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 98 extends the chapter's prohibitions beyond direct actors to anyone who assists, encourages, pressures, or attempts to bring about a forbidden act. In other words, a person does not have to personally commit a violation to be held responsible — facilitating or pushing someone else to commit one is itself prohibited. This provision closes a potential loophole by which parties might otherwise orchestrate violations through intermediaries.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mount Pleasant Code § 98-6, property owners and managers are expected to ensure that agents, contractors, employees, and other representatives acting on their behalf do not engage in conduct that would violate Chapter 98. A compliant operator generally reviews instructions given to staff and third parties to confirm those instructions do not encourage or pressure anyone toward a prohibited act. Awareness of this provision is particularly relevant when delegating tasks related to tenant relations or housing conditions.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 98-6 of Mount Pleasant's Chapter 98 means that a tenant who believes a landlord used a third party — such as a property manager, contractor, or agent — to carry out a prohibited act may have grounds to raise that conduct as a violation, since aiding or abetting is independently prohibited. Tenants in this situation can document the involvement of any intermediaries and consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or municipal enforcement office for guidance on available complaint processes. Consulting with a housing attorney familiar with Mount Pleasant ordinances is another path for understanding how this provision may apply.
