WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Town Board of the Town of Southold, Suffolk
th
County, New York, on the 19 day of June, 2018, a Local Law entitled “A Local Law in relation
to Rental Permits” and
Southold Town Meeting Agenda - July 31, 2018
Page 27
WHEREAS the Town Board of the Town of Southold held a public hearing on the aforesaid
Local Law at which time all interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard, NOW
therefor be it
RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Southold hereby ENACTS the proposed Local
Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to Rental Permits” reads as follows:
LOCAL LAW NO. 2018
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows:
I. A new Chapter 207 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby adopted as
follows:
A Local Law entitled, “A Local Law in relation to Rental Permits”
§ 207-1 Legislative intent.
A. The intent of this chapter is to preserve the aesthetic integrity of our residential
neighborhoods, prevent neighborhood blight, protect residential property values,
encourage residential property maintenance and enhance the quality of life in our
residential neighborhoods.
B. This chapter is intended to apply to all dwelling units within the Town of Southold.
The Town Board of the Town of Southold has determined that there exists in the
Town of Southold serious conditions arising from non-owner occupied rental of
dwelling units in one, two and three family and multiple dwellings that are
substandard or in violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and
Building Code, Building Rehabilitation Code, Electrical Code, Fire Prevention Code,
Plumbing Code, and other codes and ordinances of the Town. Many of these dwellings
are inadequate in size, overcrowded and dangerous, and such dwelling units pose
hazards to life, limb and property of residents of the Town and others, tend to
promote and encourage deterioration of the housing stock of the Town, create blight
and excessive vehicle traffic and parking problems and to overburden municipal
services. The Board finds that current Code provisions are inadequate to halt the
proliferation of such conditions and that the public health, safety, welfare and good
order and governance of the Town will be enhanced by enactment of the regulations
set forth in this chapter, which regulations are remedial in nature and effect. The
Board also finds that owner occupied dwellings can also fall into disrepair and not be
adequately maintained, which has a detrimental effect on neighborhoods.
C. Nothing herein shall interpreted to supersede any requirements contained in Chapter
280 or any other chapter of the Town Code of the Town of Southold.
§ 207-2 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
