New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-3
Nonapplicability
Operative Text
This chapter shall not apply to institutional occupancies, including, but not limited to, nursing, convalescent and old-age homes; or to occupancies intended primarily for transients, including, but not limited to, hotels, motels and tourist courts.
Chapter 129 of the New Paltz Village Code of Ordinances, under § 129-3, carves out two broad categories of occupancy from the chapter's coverage: institutional settings such as nursing homes, convalescent facilities, and old-age homes, and transient-oriented lodging such as hotels, motels, and tourist courts. The lists given in the provision are illustrative rather than exhaustive, meaning similar facilities may also fall outside the chapter's reach. Any rights, obligations, or protections established elsewhere in Chapter 129 simply do not apply to these excluded property types.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of properties that fall within the categories described in § 129-3—such as nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, hotels, or motels—generally operate outside the scope of Chapter 129 and its associated requirements. Compliant operators of such facilities typically document the nature of their occupancy clearly, since the institutional or transient character of a property is what determines whether the exemption applies. Owners of mixed-use or ambiguously classified properties often review how their primary use is characterized to understand whether § 129-3's exclusions extend to all or only part of their operations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you reside in a facility that might qualify as institutional or transient under § 129-3—such as a nursing home or extended-stay motel—the protections of Chapter 129 may not be available to you. Understanding whether your living arrangement falls within or outside these exclusions can be an important first step, and tenant-rights organizations familiar with New Paltz Village ordinances may be able to help clarify how § 129-3 applies to a given type of occupancy. Residents who believe their housing has been misclassified as institutional or transient may have grounds to raise that classification as a relevant issue when seeking assistance.
