Rye Brook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 192-2
License required for existing houses
Operative Text
Any rooming house which is legally in existence as of March 26, 1985, may continue to be operated and conducted, provided that the owner, operator or manager obtains a license on or before January 30, 1986, as herein provided.
Section 192-2 of Rye Brook's Code of Ordinances establishes a licensing requirement for rooming houses that were already legally operating as of March 26, 1985. Such properties were permitted to continue operating only if their owner, operator, or manager obtained the required license by January 30, 1986. This provision effectively created a grandfather pathway for pre-existing rooming houses, conditioning their continued lawful operation on timely licensure.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 192-2, operators of rooming houses that predated March 26, 1985 were required to have secured a license by January 30, 1986 to remain in compliance with Rye Brook's Code of Ordinances ch. 192. A compliant operator of such a property would have obtained and maintained that license within the prescribed window. Operators of rooming houses in Rye Brook today should verify that their property's licensing history satisfies this foundational requirement, as the absence of a timely license could affect the property's current legal standing.
