Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-14
Duties of certificate holder
Operative Text
Every holder of a rental unit registration certificate shall: A. Conspicuously post the certificate in a protected mounting in the corridor, hallway or lobby of the building for which the certificate was issued. If no common corridor, hallway or lobby exists, then posting shall be made at the entrance of each rental unit. A copy of the certificate must be provided to the occupant of the rental unit and produced upon demand of the Village Engineer. B. Comply with and cause occupants of any rental unit to comply with all other applicable laws, regulations and ordinances on matters not specifically addressed in this article, including but not limited to Chapter 160 , Noise, Chapter 108 , Dogs, Chapter 197 , Streets and Sidewalks; Chapter 135 , Garbage, Rubbish and Littering; Chapter 185 , Recycling; and Chapter 70 , Alarm Systems. C. The occupancy agreement for a rental unit regulated under this article must include a disclosure of the smoking policy for the premises on which the rental unit is located. The disclosure must state whether smoking is prohibited on the premises, allowed on the entire premises or allowed in limited areas on the premises. If the smoking policy allows smoking in limited areas on the premises, the disclosure must identify the areas on the premises where smoking is permitted.
Under Croton-on-Hudson Code ch. 186 § 186-14, holders of a rental unit registration certificate are required to visibly post that certificate in a common area of the building or, where no common area exists, at each unit's entrance. A copy must also be given to each occupant and shown to the Village Engineer upon request. Additionally, certificate holders must ensure compliance with a range of other local laws—covering topics like noise, garbage, and alarm systems—and must include a clear smoking-policy disclosure in every occupancy agreement, specifying whether smoking is prohibited, fully permitted, or allowed only in designated areas.

Operators subject to § 186-14 of Croton-on-Hudson's Code ch. 186 generally keep the registration certificate mounted in a protected display in the building's corridor, hallway, or lobby, or at each unit entrance if no common area exists. Compliant operators also provide each occupant with a copy of the certificate and have it available for the Village Engineer on demand. Lease agreements for regulated units typically include an explicit smoking-policy disclosure that identifies whether smoking is banned entirely, permitted everywhere, or restricted to specific areas on the premises.

Section 186-14 of Croton-on-Hudson Code ch. 186 entitles occupants of regulated rental units to receive a copy of the building's rental registration certificate and to see it posted in a common area or at their unit entrance. Tenants are also entitled to a written smoking-policy disclosure in their occupancy agreement that clearly states where, if anywhere, smoking is permitted on the premises. Tenants who believe these requirements are not being met may contact the Village Engineer's office, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or review the broader obligations under ch. 186 to understand available options.
