Wheatfield, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 93 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 93-7
Interference, coercion, or intimidation
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any person in the exercise or enjoyment of, or on account of having exercised or enjoyed, or on account of having aided and encouraged any other person in the exercise or enjoyment of, any right guaranteed by §§ 93-3 , 93-4 or 93-5 of this chapter.
Section 93-7 of Wheatfield, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 93 makes it unlawful for anyone to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with a person because that person exercised a right protected under §§ 93-3, 93-4, or 93-5, or because they helped someone else exercise those rights. The provision covers both direct interference and retaliatory conduct aimed at discouraging the use of protected rights. It applies to anyone who might engage in such conduct, not just one category of actor.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Wheatfield, N.Y., Code ch. 93 § 93-7 generally ensure that their communications and actions toward tenants do not constitute threats, intimidation, or interference related to rights protected by §§ 93-3, 93-4, or 93-5. Compliant operators typically document their interactions with tenants in a neutral, business-like manner and avoid any conduct that could be construed as retaliatory against a tenant who has exercised or assisted others in exercising protected rights. Training staff on the boundaries set by § 93-7 is a common practice among operators seeking to remain in compliance.
