Record of registrations
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer to maintain a record of registrations pursuant to this article.

Each application shall be maintained in accordance with all record retention requirements applicable to the Village and shall be subject to public disclosure, inspection and copying in accordance with the requirements of the applicable law of the State of New York.
Under Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-10, the Code Enforcement Officer is required to keep an organized register of all rental property registrations within the Village. This register is indexed by both owner name and street address, and it records the owner's contact information, the number of rental units at each property, and when each registration expires. The register is a public document, meaning anyone may inspect, copy, or request access to it under New York State law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 72-10, the Code Enforcement Officer maintains a public register that includes each owner's name, address, number of rental units, and registration expiration date, so property owners and managers should ensure that the information they submit on their applications is accurate and current. Because these records are subject to public disclosure under New York State law, compliant operators generally treat their registration filings as documents that any member of the public could review. Keeping track of registration expiration dates is a standard practice, since that information is prominently reflected in the official register maintained by the Village.

Section 72-10 of Chester's Code of Ordinances establishes that the Village's rental registration records are open to public inspection and copying under New York State law. This means tenants can request to view the register to verify whether a landlord's property is properly registered, how many rental units are listed at an address, and when the registration is set to expire. Tenants who have questions about a property's registration status may contact the Code Enforcement Officer directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how to access or use these public records.
