Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162-2
Definitions
Operative Text
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: RENTAL UNIT Shall include, but not be limited to, one- and two-family and multiple-family dwellings, whether or not used for residential purposes, garden apartments, all other complexes, mobile homes, shopping centers, supermarkets, retail stores, warehouses, storage plants, factories, gasoline service stations, public garages or buildings used for other business purposes and accessory structures of all of the foregoing that are leased by an owner/lessor.
Section 162-2 of Owego Village's Code of Ordinances establishes what qualifies as a 'rental unit' for the purposes of Chapter 162. The definition is intentionally broad, covering not only residential dwellings of all sizes but also commercial and industrial properties such as retail stores, warehouses, factories, service stations, and mobile homes. Any structure leased by an owner or lessor, along with its accessory structures, falls within this definition.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 162-2, property owners and managers in Owego Village should be aware that Chapter 162's requirements are not limited to residential properties — they extend to commercial, industrial, and mixed-use leased spaces as well. A compliant operator generally reviews whether any leased structure they manage, including accessory buildings, falls within this expansive definition before determining their obligations under the chapter. Understanding the scope of § 162-2 helps ensure that no leased property type is inadvertently overlooked when applying the chapter's rules.
