Notification to tenants
Operative Text
A. All leases offered to tenants of a dwelling must contain a notice, conspicuously set forth therein, which advises them of their rights to have window guards installed in their apartments and that a copy of this chapter is contained in the office of the Town Clerk of the Town of Harrison ("Town Clerk"). B. Every person required to provide, install and maintain window guards must cause to be delivered to each apartment within the dwelling a notice advising the occupants of their rights to have window guards installed in their apartments and that a copy of this chapter is contained in the office of the Town Clerk. Such notices must be provided annually in a form and manner approved by the Building Department. C. The Building Department shall promulgate such regulations as it deems necessary for there to be compliance with the provisions of this section.Section 232-2 of Harrison, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 232 establishes two parallel notification requirements related to window guards in residential dwellings. First, any lease offered to a tenant must include a conspicuous notice informing tenants of their right to have window guards installed and that the full chapter is available at the Town Clerk's office. Second, beyond the lease itself, those responsible for window guards must deliver a written notice to each apartment annually, in a form and manner approved by the Building Department, covering the same rights and reference to the Town Clerk's office.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of residential dwellings in Harrison subject to ch. 232 § 232-2 generally ensure that every lease agreement contains a clearly visible notice about tenants' window guard rights and the availability of the full ordinance at the Town Clerk's office. In addition to the lease notice, compliant operators arrange for a separate written notice to be delivered to each apartment unit on an annual basis, using a format that has been reviewed and approved by the Harrison Building Department. Keeping records of each annual delivery and confirming the lease language meets the conspicuousness standard are practices commonly associated with ongoing compliance under this section.

Under Harrison, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 232 § 232-2, tenants have a right to receive notice—both within their lease and through a separate annual delivery—informing them of their right to have window guards installed and directing them to the Town Clerk's office for a copy of the full ordinance. If a tenant believes these notices were not provided as required, that gap may be relevant when raising concerns with the Harrison Building Department, which oversees compliance and has authority to issue regulations under this section. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Harrison ordinances can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available in connection with this provision.
