Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-107
Occupancy limitations
Operative Text
Occupants shall be responsible for limiting occupancy of that part of the premises that they occupy or control to the maximum permitted by this Part 3 .
Section 245-107 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances places the responsibility for staying within occupancy limits on the occupants themselves, not solely on the landlord or property owner. Whoever lives in or controls a portion of a dwelling must ensure that the number of people in that space does not exceed the maximum allowed under Part 3 of Chapter 245. This shifts at least some compliance duty directly to the people residing in the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Sleepy Hollow Code § 245-107, compliant operators generally make sure tenants are informed of the maximum occupancy limits established by Part 3 of Chapter 245 at the time of leasing. Because the ordinance places responsibility on occupants, landlords typically document the permitted occupancy in lease agreements and keep records of any communications about those limits. Staying current with the occupancy standards set out in Part 3 helps operators demonstrate that they have met their own obligations under the broader chapter.

Tenants who are uncertain about what the maximum occupancy for their unit is may want to review their lease, request clarification from their landlord in writing, or consult a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Sleepy Hollow's housing code. Understanding the specific limit that applies to a given space is an important first step in meeting the obligations this provision places on occupants.
