Akron, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-3 requires that owners of rental properties with four or fewer units register those properties with the Village of Akron. Properties that existed when the article took effect were required to be registered by June 1, 2009, while newly created or converted rental dwellings must be registered before any tenant is allowed to move in. When ownership changes or registration details are updated, the rule sets specific windows—30 days for information changes and 60 days for new owners—within which updated registration must be filed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 120 § 120-3, operators of small rental properties in the Village of Akron generally maintain an active registration on file with the Village at all times. Compliant landlords register a newly constructed or converted rental property before the first tenant takes occupancy, and they update their registration within 30 days whenever any registration detail changes. When a property is acquired, the new owner typically completes registration with the Village within 60 days of assuming ownership to remain in good standing under this provision.

Section 120-3 of Akron's Code of Ordinances establishes a public registration requirement that can give tenants a way to verify whether their landlord has complied with local rules for small rental properties. If a landlord has not registered a property or failed to update registration after a change in ownership, that non-compliance may be relevant information when raising concerns with Village officials or a tenant-rights organization. Tenants who believe their landlord is out of compliance with ch. 120 § 120-3 can contact the Village of Akron directly or seek guidance from a local housing or tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
