This article shall be known as "A Local Law
to Establish the Residency Requirements for the Appointed Office of
Building Inspector."
This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal
Home Rule Law § 10(1)(ii)(a)(1), which grants to local governments
the authority to enact local laws regarding the qualifications of
local officers. Furthermore, this article recognizes that the State
Legislature amended Public Officers Law, § 3, adding a new
Subsection (24) expanding the residency requirements for any appointed
public office in the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, thereby
rendering Public Officers Law a special law with respect to any appointed
Town officer [See N.Y. Atty. Gen. (Inf.) No. 91-37].
This article shall supersede Town Law, § 23(1)
in its application to the office of Building Inspector for the Town
of Ossining.
The person holding the office of Building Inspector
of the Town of Ossining need not be a resident nor an elector of the
Town of Ossining; provided, however, that such person shall reside
in Westchester County, or an adjoining county within the State of
New York.
