Yorktown Heights is an unincorporated community (population 1,884) in Westchester County, New York. Because Yorktown Heights is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Westchester County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The rent control rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Three Westchester cities (Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon) have opted into the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA), meaning rent stabilization applies to buildings 6+ units built before 1974. Other Westchester municipalities can opt in.
Under ETPA, annual rent increases in ETPA-opted cities are set by the Westchester County Rent Guidelines Board. For the 2024-2025 guidelines year, typical increases are ~3.5% for 1-year leases and ~5% for 2-year leases (check latest board order). Eligible buildings: 6+ units, built before Jan 1, 1974. NYC-style rent control (pre-1947 continuous occupancy) applies to a small number of long-term tenancies.
