Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 126 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 126-9
Initial fee
Operative Text
Each owner of a multiple dwelling located within the village which is subject to rent regulation pursuant to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 shall initially pay to the Village Clerk the sum as shall be set forth from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees per dwelling unit to reimburse the village for the sum it has already paid to the State Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Section 126-9 of Thomaston's Code of Ordinances establishes an initial fee that owners of rent-regulated multiple dwellings must pay to the Village Clerk. The fee amount is not fixed in the ordinance itself but is set periodically by the Board of Trustees through resolution. The purpose of the fee is to reimburse the village for costs it has already advanced to the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal on behalf of those properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 126-9, owners of multiple dwellings in Thomaston that fall under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 are responsible for paying an initial per-unit fee to the Village Clerk. Because the fee amount is established by Board of Trustees resolution rather than fixed in the ordinance, compliant operators typically confirm the current fee amount with the Village Clerk before submitting payment. Keeping records of this payment is a standard part of maintaining compliance with the village's rent regulation program.

Section 126-9 governs an administrative fee paid by building owners to the village, not a charge that landlords are authorized to pass directly to tenants. Tenants living in rent-regulated multiple dwellings in Thomaston may want to be aware of this provision if questions arise about fees or costs associated with their building's registration under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974. Tenant-rights organizations or the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal can be resources for understanding how such administrative requirements interact with tenant protections.
