Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 § 173-3
Registration of property required
Operative Text
A. The owner of non-owner-occupied property shall register the property with the Building Department of the City of Beacon on a form provided by the Building Department of the City of Beacon. This form shall be known as the "Landlord Registration Statement," which shall be signed by the owner under oath. B. It shall be a violation of this article for an owner to offer any non-owner-occupied building for rent, or to rent any building, or to allow any building to be occupied other than by an owner without having registered pursuant to this article.
Section 173-3 of Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 requires that owners of non-owner-occupied property register with the City of Beacon Building Department by completing and signing a sworn 'Landlord Registration Statement.' Offering a property for rent, renting it out, or allowing occupancy by anyone other than the owner without completing this registration constitutes a violation of the article. The rule applies before any rental activity begins, making registration a prerequisite to lawful rental operation in Beacon.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 173-3, a compliant rental property owner in Beacon obtains and submits a signed, sworn Landlord Registration Statement to the City of Beacon Building Department before listing, renting, or allowing occupancy of any non-owner-occupied property. Operators generally keep records of their filed registration and renew or update it as required to avoid being in violation. Failing to register prior to any rental activity — including simply advertising a unit — is itself a violation of ch. 173.

Section 173-3 establishes that landlords in Beacon are legally required to register non-owner-occupied rental properties with the Building Department before renting or allowing occupancy. If a tenant has reason to believe their landlord has not filed a Landlord Registration Statement as required by ch. 173, that unregistered status may be relevant in housing-related proceedings or complaints filed with the City of Beacon. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Beacon's local ordinances can help residents understand how this registration requirement intersects with their housing situation.
