Under Akron, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-4, the Village of Akron is required to maintain a registry of all rental dwellings and rental units within its jurisdiction. Owners must supply specific identifying information—including names, addresses, contact details, and organizational details for non-individual owners—on forms obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer. If neither the owner nor their agent is located within Erie County, the owner must designate a local Erie County agent authorized to receive legal notices and service of process.

Operators of rental properties in Akron, N.Y. are generally expected to complete and submit the registration forms required under ch. 120 § 120-4, providing accurate owner and agent contact information, unit counts, and—where applicable—employer identification numbers for corporate owners. When ownership involves multiple individuals or a non-natural-person entity, compliant operators typically include information for each owner or the entity's chief executive. Landlords whose own address and agent's address both fall outside Erie County should ensure a designated Erie County-based agent is identified and on file to receive notices and legal process on their behalf.
