Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 96-6
Designation of owners' representatives
Operative Text
All owners of commercial premises shall file and keep updated a form with the Town's Building Official, which form shall contain the name, address and telephone number of the owner's current representative to be contacted in the event of emergency or violation of this article.
Under Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 § 96-6, every owner of commercial property in the Town of Lenox is required to keep a current contact form on file with the Town's Building Official. This form must identify a representative who can be reached in emergencies or when a violation of the article arises. The obligation is ongoing — owners must update the form whenever their representative's name, address, or phone number changes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Commercial property owners operating under ch. 96 § 96-6 generally maintain an up-to-date representative designation form with the Town of Lenox Building Official at all times. Compliant operators treat any change in representative — including a new phone number or address — as a triggering event requiring a prompt form update. Keeping this information current ensures the Town can reach a responsible contact quickly during an emergency or code-enforcement matter.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
While ch. 96 § 96-6 places the filing obligation on commercial property owners rather than tenants, the provision's existence means the Town of Lenox Building Official should have a current owner representative on record for any commercial premises. If a tenant or occupant of a commercial space encounters an emergency or a potential code violation and cannot identify a responsible contact, the Building Official's office is a starting point for locating that information. Tenant-rights organizations or local legal aid resources can help clarify what options may be available when an owner's representative is unresponsive or the required form appears to be missing.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
