Nyack, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-5
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall take effect 30 days after a copy has been filed with the NYS Secretary of State in the manner prescribed by NYS Municipal Home Rule Law § 27 .
Section 217-5 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 217, establishes when the chapter's rent regulations become legally operative. The provisions do not take effect immediately upon local adoption; instead, they become enforceable only after a 30-day waiting period that begins once a copy of the chapter has been filed with the New York State Secretary of State in accordance with NYS Municipal Home Rule Law § 27. This filing-and-waiting requirement is a procedural step mandated by state law before local rules carry legal force.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 217 § 217-5, the obligations and restrictions set out in Chapter 217 did not apply to property owners until 30 days after the required filing with the New York State Secretary of State was completed. Compliant operators generally confirm the effective date of any local ordinance before assuming its requirements are in force, since obligations under the chapter only attach after that statutory waiting period has elapsed. Keeping records of the chapter's official effective date can help operators accurately track when compliance duties began.

Section 217-5 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances, Chapter 217, means that tenant protections established by the chapter did not become enforceable until 30 days after the village filed the ordinance with the New York State Secretary of State under Municipal Home Rule Law § 27. Tenants seeking to rely on rights created by Chapter 217 may want to confirm the precise effective date to understand when those protections first applied. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can be a resource for verifying that date and understanding how it affects any situation arising under the chapter.
