Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-3
Exception
Operative Text
In a house or building containing not more than four apartments, one of which is occupied by the owner or lessee, the notice provided for in § 103-2 need not be posted, provided that copies of said notice are delivered to the occupant of each apartment or dwelling unit.
Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-3 creates a narrow exception to the general notice-posting requirement established in § 103-2. In buildings of four or fewer apartments where the owner or lessee lives in one of those units, the required notice does not have to be physically posted in a common area. Instead, the rule is satisfied when a copy of the notice is personally delivered to each apartment or dwelling unit occupant.

Under Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-3, owner-occupants of small residential buildings—four units or fewer—who live in one of the units have an alternative path to compliance with the § 103-2 notice requirement. Rather than posting the notice in a shared space, compliant operators in this situation deliver a copy of the required notice directly to each occupant. Keeping records of those deliveries is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating that the alternative requirement was met.

Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-3 means that if you live in a building of four or fewer units where the owner or lessee also resides, you are entitled to receive a personal copy of the notice described in § 103-2 in lieu of a posted notice. If you have not received such a copy, that may represent a failure to comply with this provision. Tenants who believe this requirement has not been met can consult a local tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant municipal authority to understand available options.
