Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-47
Tenant directory systems
Operative Text
A. The owner of a multiple dwelling shall update, no less than once a month, the building directory and the bell and buzzer systems, if any, to assure that they contain a current identification of the tenants in the building. There shall be no requirement that any such directory or bell and buzzer system be installed but, if installed, then they must be updated with current tenant identification in accordance with the provisions of this section. B. The owners or managers of a hotel or specialized senior housing facility shall provide, on a twenty-four-hours-per-day basis, a receptionist or other person at the front desk of the premises who can direct and control the entry of visitors to the dwelling units in the buildings.
Under Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-47, if a multiple dwelling has a building directory or bell and buzzer system, the owner must keep it updated with current tenant names at least once per month. There is no mandate to install such systems in the first place, but once they exist, the monthly update requirement applies. Separately, hotels and specialized senior housing facilities must maintain a staffed front desk around the clock to manage visitor access to dwelling units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple dwellings subject to ch. 124 § 124-47 generally maintain a routine — at least monthly — for refreshing any installed directory and bell or buzzer system to reflect current occupants, including additions, departures, and name changes. Owners who have not installed such systems face no obligation to do so under this section, but those who have should document each update cycle as evidence of compliance. Owners or managers of hotels and specialized senior housing facilities additionally ensure that a qualified front-desk attendant is present and capable of directing visitor entry at all hours, every day of the year.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under ch. 124 § 124-47, tenants in buildings with directories or bell and buzzer systems have an interest in seeing those systems reflect accurate, current information, which the owner is required to maintain on at least a monthly basis. Tenants in hotels or specialized senior housing facilities are entitled to the added security of a staffed front desk available 24 hours a day to control visitor access. Tenants who believe these requirements are not being met may consider contacting the Great Neck Plaza village government, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or raising the issue as a potential code violation through available municipal complaint channels.
