Under Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-4, any owner of a multiple-residence property who does not live in Sullivan County must designate a local agent to receive legal notices and process on their behalf. This agent must reside in Sullivan County and their name, address, and telephone number must be filed with the Code Enforcement Officer. The requirement applies equally to individual owners and corporate entities, and the agent is authorized to accept service related to this chapter, the Building Code, the Public Health Law, and the Multiple Residence Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners of multiple-residence properties in Liberty who reside outside Sullivan County are required under ch. 103 § 103-4 to maintain a current agent designation on file with the Code Enforcement Officer. A compliant operator ensures that the filed agent actually resides in Sullivan County and that the contact information on file remains accurate and up to date. Corporate owners are subject to the same obligation as individual owners, so entities should confirm that their designated agent meets the residency requirement.

Section 103-4 of Liberty's Code of Ordinances ensures that out-of-county owners of multiple-residence buildings have a locally reachable agent who can be served with notices and legal process. If a tenant or enforcement authority needs to deliver official notices related to housing, public health, or building code matters, this provision is intended to make that process accessible. Tenants who believe an owner has not complied with this filing requirement may raise the issue with the Code Enforcement Officer or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
