Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 124-63
Responsibilities of owners
Operative Text
A. Owners of premises shall be responsible for compliance with all of the housing standards and requirements set forth in this code applicable to their premises and shall remain responsible therefor regardless of the fact that this code may also place certain responsibilities on operating agents and occupants and regardless of any agreements between owners and operating agents or occupants as to which party shall assume such responsibility. B. Owners of multiple dwellings, hotels or specialized senior housing facilities shall be responsible for proper maintenance, condition and operation of service facilities and for the filing of all reports and statements required by the code. C. Owners of multiple dwellings, hotels and specialized senior housing facilities shall, on or before the first day of October of each year, file a written statement with the Department of Housing of the village containing the address of each multiple dwelling, hotel and specialized senior housing facility within the village owned by them; the number of dwelling units contained therein; the number of square feet of floor space in each dwelling unit; the name of the tenant and/or owner of each unit (except for hotels); the name and address of the owner thereof; and if there be an operating agent for said multiple dwelling, hotel and specialized senior housing facility other than the owner, the name and address of said agent. In addition, said statement shall contain a telephone number at which the owner, operating agent or other responsible representative of this owner may be reached in the event of an emergency.
Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-63 establishes that property owners bear ultimate responsibility for meeting all local housing standards, even when operating agents or tenants share some duties under the code or by private agreement. Owners of multiple dwellings, hotels, and specialized senior housing facilities must also keep service facilities properly maintained and operational. Additionally, these owners must file an annual written statement with the Village Department of Housing by October 1st each year, disclosing property details, unit counts, floor areas, tenant and owner names, and emergency contact information.

Under Great Neck Plaza Code ch. 124 § 124-63, compliant operators of multiple dwellings, hotels, or specialized senior housing facilities prepare and submit their annual written statement to the Village Department of Housing on or before October 1st each year, including all required details such as unit counts, square footage, tenant names, and a reachable emergency contact number. Owners should be aware that delegating responsibilities to an operating agent or occupant through a private agreement does not relieve them of liability under the code. Maintaining accurate, up-to-date records throughout the year makes it easier to complete the annual filing accurately and on time.

Section 124-63 of the Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances makes clear that building owners remain responsible for housing standard compliance regardless of any private arrangements they may have with agents or tenants, which means tenants can look to the owner as the ultimately accountable party for code compliance. Tenants in multiple dwellings, hotels, or specialized senior housing facilities may find it useful to know that the Village Department of Housing maintains annual filings from owners that include property and contact information. If housing standards are not being met, tenants can explore options such as contacting the Village Department of Housing, raising a code violation in relevant proceedings, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available paths.
