Oswego, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 149 § 149-65
Exceptions
Operative Text
This Part 3 shall not apply to premises which are not within the scope of applicable housing standards.
Section 149-65 of Oswego's Code of Ordinances establishes a carve-out from Part 3's requirements: properties that fall outside the scope of applicable housing standards are not subject to Part 3's rules. In other words, the reach of Part 3 is bounded by whatever housing standards are deemed 'applicable' to a given property. This exception effectively limits Part 3's coverage rather than expanding any obligation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 149-65, operators of properties that are not within the scope of applicable housing standards are not bound by Part 3 of Chapter 149. Compliant operators generally assess whether their premises meet the threshold criteria that bring a property within those housing standards before assuming Part 3 obligations apply. Keeping documentation of a property's classification or status under the relevant housing standards is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating eligibility for this exception.

Section 149-65 means that Part 3 protections may not extend to every rental situation — only to premises that fall within the scope of applicable housing standards. Tenants who believe their housing should be covered by Part 3 of Chapter 149 can look into how Oswego defines 'applicable housing standards' and whether their premises qualify. Tenant-rights organizations or a local housing authority may be able to help clarify whether a specific type of housing falls within or outside Part 3's coverage.
