first, nineteen hundred sixty-two, subject to the provisions of
any local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations adopted pursuant
to this subdivision or subdivision five of this section. On and
after such date, and until the adoption of a local law or
ordinance in respect of the regulation and control of residential
