Under ch. 110 § 110-6, operators registering a vacant residential building in New Paltz Town generally ensure their VRB statement includes the property's street address, section/block/lot tax map numbers, and current owner or servicer contact details. If the owner, mortgagee, or loan servicer does not reside or maintain a business office within the Town, a compliant operator also submits a completed local contact designation form to the Building Department. That form identifies a local individual who consents in writing to accept legal process, and it is signed by the owner, mortgagee, or loan servicer making the designation.
