its  local  legislative  body,  adopts the provisions of this article by
local law.
2. Opt-in by a village, town, or city, other  than  the  city  of  New
York.    A  village,  town,  or  city that adopts the provisions of this
article by local law pursuant to subdivision one of this section may:
(a) provide that any unit on or within a housing  accommodation  shall
be exempt from the provisions of this article if such unit has a monthly
rent  above  a  percent  of fair market rent, as published by the United
States department of housing and  urban  development  and  as  shall  be
published  for  each  county in the state by the division of housing and
community renewal pursuant to subdivision fifteen of section two hundred
fourteen of this article, that shall be established  in  the  local  law
adopted  pursuant  to  subdivision one of this section, provided that if
such local law does not establish such percent of fair market rent,  any
unit  on  or  within a housing accommodation with a monthly rent greater
than two hundred forty-five percent of such fair market  rent  shall  be
exempt from the provisions of this article; and/or

of units in the state that the village, town, or city  enacts  by  local
law, provided that if such local law does not define "small landlord," a
"small  landlord" shall mean a landlord of no more than ten units in the
state.
3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, if a town
and a village within such town both adopt the provisions of this article
by local law pursuant to subdivision one of this section, the local  law
adopted  by such town shall not apply within the territorial limits of a
village within such town.
4. Nothing in this section shall permit a village, town,  or  city  to
which  this article applies to preempt or alter the terms and provisions
of this article within such village, town or city.

renewal of such adoption.

annual publication required pursuant to subdivision seven of section two
hundred  eleven  of  this article a list including any village, town, or
city, other than the city of New York,  as  to  which  the  division  of
housing   and  community  renewal  has  received  the  notice  from  the
department of state  required  pursuant  to  subdivision  five  of  this
section  indicating that such village, town, or city has adopted a local
law pursuant to subdivision one of this section to apply the  provisions
of  this  article  within  such  village, town, or city. Such list shall
