Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 215-2
Procedures
Operative Text
The procedures applicable to summary proceedings to recover possession of real property under New York State law shall be applicable to any proceeding brought under this article.
Section 215-2 of Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 215 establishes that the same procedural rules governing summary proceedings under New York State law — the formal legal process used to recover possession of real property — apply equally to any proceeding brought under this local article. In other words, the Village of Walden has not created a separate or unique procedural framework; instead, it incorporates the existing state-level rules by reference. This means the timelines, notice requirements, and court processes defined by New York State law set the procedural floor for these local actions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 215-2 of Walden's Code of Ordinances, operators initiating a proceeding to recover possession of a rental property must follow the same procedural steps required by New York State summary proceeding law — including proper service of notices, adherence to statutory waiting periods, and filing in the appropriate court. Compliant operators generally ensure that every step taken mirrors what state law requires for a summary proceeding, since the local article does not provide an alternative or simplified path. Familiarity with New York's Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) is therefore central to navigating any action brought under this chapter.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 215-2 of Walden's Chapter 215 means that any proceeding brought against a tenant under this local article must follow the same procedural rules that New York State law requires for summary proceedings — giving tenants the same procedural protections they would have in a standard state-law eviction or possession case. If a landlord fails to follow those required procedures, a tenant may be able to raise that failure as a defense in the proceeding. Tenants who believe procedural requirements have not been met can consult a tenant-rights organization, a legal aid office, or an attorney familiar with New York's RPAPL to understand what options may be available.
