Fort Edward, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 79A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 79A-10
Register of permits
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer to maintain a register of rental permits issued pursuant to this chapter. Such register shall be kept by street address, showing the name and address of the permittee, the number of rental units at such address, the number of rooms in each rental unit and the date of expiration of the rental unit permit for the premises. Such registry shall be kept available for public inspection during regular business hours at the office of the Building Department.
Fort Edward Code of Ordinances ch. 79A § 79A-10 requires the local Code Enforcement Officer to keep an ongoing register of all rental permits issued under the chapter. Each entry in the register must include the property's street address, the permit holder's name and contact address, the number of rental units at the property, the room count for each unit, and the permit's expiration date. This register is a public record that anyone may inspect during the Building Department's regular business hours.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fort Edward Code ch. 79A § 79A-10, compliant rental property operators generally ensure that the information on file with the Building Department — including their contact address, unit count, and room counts — is accurate and current, since that data feeds directly into the public register. Operators commonly verify their permit expiration dates through the register to avoid lapses. Keeping permit-related paperwork organized makes it easier to confirm that the Building Department's records match the actual conditions at the property.

Fort Edward Code ch. 79A § 79A-10 gives members of the public the right to inspect the rental permit register at the Building Department during regular business hours. Tenants can use this register to confirm whether a landlord holds a valid permit for their address, how many units are on record, and when the permit expires. If a discrepancy is found — such as a missing or expired permit — tenant-rights organizations or the Building Department itself are common resources for understanding what options may be available.
