Showing ordinances that apply to East Kingston, NY
East Kingston is an unincorporated community (population 277) in Ulster County, New York. Because East Kingston is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Ulster County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The architectural review rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Architectural review handled per HOA/condo declaration. NY protects solar (RPL 335-b) and clotheslines (Energy Law 17-103) from blanket HOA bans.
Architectural review committee (ARC) authority in Ulster County HOAs derives entirely from the community declaration and bylaws. ARCs can require approval for exterior color, fencing, additions, solar, and landscaping, but several NY statutes limit the scope: Real Property Law 335-b protects solar installations (HOAs may regulate but not prohibit reasonable solar), and Energy Law 17-103 prohibits bans on clotheslines. HOAs may not prohibit American flags under NY Real Property Law. ARCs must act on applications within the deadline set in governing documents or they are generally deemed approved.
