Atlantic Beach Code § 140-2 establishes a public registration requirement for multiple residences, meaning tenants can inquire with the Village Building Department to confirm whether their building is properly registered and whether a local agent has been designated. If a building appears to be unregistered or out of compliance, that information may be relevant when raising concerns with local housing authorities or a tenant-rights organization. Tenants who believe their building is not in compliance with this provision may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or seek general guidance from the Village of Atlantic Beach Building Department.
