Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 192-10
Application of provisions
Operative Text
A. This article shall apply to any and all multifamily dwellings excepting any building owned and operated by any public corporation, housing authority or any other public agency. B. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to relieve any owner of a multifamily dwelling of any duty or responsibility imposed on such owner with respect to such dwelling by the Multiple Residence Law of the State of New York, the Code of the Village of Spring Valley or any other provision, law, rule or regulation, including any duty or responsibility, so imposed, to provide janitorial service for such dwelling.
Section 192-10 of Spring Valley's Code of Ordinances establishes the scope of Chapter 192's multifamily dwelling rules: they cover all multifamily buildings in the village except those owned and operated by public corporations, housing authorities, or other public agencies. Importantly, this article does not replace or reduce any obligations that already exist under New York State's Multiple Residence Law, the Village of Spring Valley Code, or any other applicable law or regulation. Owners of covered buildings remain bound by all pre-existing duties, including the requirement to provide janitorial services.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 192-10, operators of privately owned multifamily dwellings in Spring Valley should understand that Chapter 192 applies to their properties in full, while publicly operated housing falls outside its reach. Compliance with Chapter 192 does not satisfy or substitute for obligations under the New York State Multiple Residence Law or other applicable village and state rules—those duties run concurrently. Operators of covered buildings generally maintain janitorial services and meet all other pre-existing regulatory requirements alongside whatever Chapter 192 specifically demands.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 192-10 makes clear that residents of privately owned multifamily dwellings in Spring Valley are protected by Chapter 192, and that their building owner's duties under the New York State Multiple Residence Law and the Village Code remain fully in effect alongside it. This means tenants in covered buildings retain all rights they would have under those other laws, including the right to janitorial services where required. Tenants who believe their building is not meeting these overlapping obligations can raise the relevant provision as a basis for a complaint with village code enforcement or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Spring Valley and New York State housing law.
