Section 255-7 of Baldwinsville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 255 establishes a Village-maintained registry of all rental dwellings and rental units. Owners are required to submit specific identifying and contact information — including ownership details, unit counts, and property addresses — using forms provided by the Code Enforcement Officer. If neither the owner nor their agent lives or operates within 25 miles of the property, a local agent within Onondaga County must be designated to receive legal notices and service of process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 255-7, compliant rental property owners in Baldwinsville obtain the required registration forms from the Code Enforcement Officer and submit accurate information covering ownership identity, contact details reachable day and night, unit count and type, property address, and any applicable employer identification number. Owners whose own address and their agent's address both fall outside a 25-mile radius of the property take the additional step of designating a natural person with a legal residence or business address within Onondaga County to serve as a local agent for notices and legal process. Keeping this registry information current as ownership, management, or contact details change is a standard practice for operators seeking to remain in compliance with ch. 255.

Section 255-7 means that the Village of Baldwinsville maintains a public registry where ownership and contact information for rental properties is recorded, giving tenants a documented path to identify who is legally responsible for their dwelling. If a tenant needs to reach an owner or agent — for example, to report a code issue or respond to a legal matter — the registry is designed to provide day-and-night contact information, and a local Onondaga County agent must be on file when the owner and their agent are both located more than 25 miles away. Tenants who believe required registration information is missing or inaccurate may contact the Code Enforcement Officer or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with ch. 255 to understand available options.
