Under § 231-128, the Residential Dwelling Registry is a distinct but complementary framework to Albany's Housing Code (Part 2 of Chapter 231), so property owners and managers operating in Albany are generally expected to be aware of and comply with obligations arising from both parts simultaneously. Operators who maintain familiarity with the full scope of Chapter 231 are better positioned to meet all applicable registration and housing-code requirements.
