Under § 117-16, the rental regulations that govern property operations in Ogdensburg are not static — the City Council retains authority to amend, supplement, or repeal them. Operators who stay informed about public notices and scheduled hearings are generally better positioned to understand when regulatory changes may affect their properties. Attending or monitoring public hearings related to Chapter 117 is a common practice among engaged property managers.

Section 117-16 means that the rules protecting tenants under Part 1 of Chapter 117 can be changed, expanded, or removed through a formal City Council process that includes public notice and a hearing. Because petitions from outside parties can trigger this process, tenants and tenant groups have a recognized avenue to advocate for changes to local rental regulations. Tenant-rights organizations can be a useful resource for understanding how to participate in or monitor the public hearing process.
