Scope
Operative Text
This chapter shall apply to the following premises in the Village: A. Lots, plots or parcels of land which are vacant or upon which buildings used for dwellings, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial or storage uses, whether occupied or vacant, are located. B. Residential buildings. C. Vacant residential, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial and storage buildings. D. Accessory structures accessory to dwellings or commercial, industrial or vacant buildings.
Section 139-4 of New Hyde Park's Code of Ordinances establishes the reach of Chapter 139 by defining which types of properties fall under its rules. The chapter covers a broad range of land and structures within the Village, including vacant lots, residential buildings, mixed-use and commercial or industrial properties, and accessory structures such as garages or sheds. Both occupied and unoccupied properties are included within the chapter's scope, meaning the rules apply regardless of whether a building is currently in use.

Tenants living in New Hyde Park can note that § 139-4 brings residential buildings—including those with mixed occupancy—squarely within the scope of Chapter 139, meaning the chapter's protections and standards apply to their homes. If a tenant believes conditions at their residence fall short of what Chapter 139 requires, general enforcement paths may include raising the issue with Village authorities or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Because § 139-4 covers both occupied and vacant residential properties, tenants in a variety of living situations may find the chapter's provisions relevant to their circumstances.
