West Carthage, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 44 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 44-9
Amendments
Operative Text
The Village Board may, on its own initiative or on petition, amend, supplement or repeal the provisions of this chapter in conformity with applicable law after public notice and hearing.
Section 44-9 of West Carthage's Code of Ordinances establishes the process by which the Village Board can change the rent-regulation chapter. The Board may act on its own initiative or in response to a petition from the public, but any change—whether an amendment, supplement, or repeal—must follow applicable law and be preceded by public notice and a hearing. This procedural requirement ensures community input before the rules governing rental housing are altered.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 44-9, the rent-regulation rules that property owners operate under in West Carthage are not fixed permanently—the Village Board retains authority to amend, supplement, or repeal Chapter 44. Operators who want to stay current with their compliance obligations should monitor Village Board agendas and public hearing notices, since changes to the chapter can affect how rental properties must be managed. Participating in the public hearing process is one way landlords can stay informed about proposed regulatory changes.

Section 44-9 gives the West Carthage Village Board the power to change, expand, or eliminate the protections found in Chapter 44, but only after public notice and a hearing. Tenants have the right to attend and comment at those public hearings before any amendments take effect, and petitions from the public can also prompt the Board to consider changes. Tenant-rights organizations can be a resource for understanding how any proposed amendments to Chapter 44 might affect existing rental protections.
