New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-9
Rental index
Operative Text
A. The Code Enforcement Official shall maintain a rental index of all registered rental properties, and shall make said index available to any person seeking access thereto. B. The rental index shall include, but not be limited to: (1) All information required of registered rental properties, including the completed rental inspection checklists. (2) A history of all violations, fires, or other incidents at the property in question.
Under New Paltz Village Code ch. 129 § 129-9, the village's Code Enforcement Official is required to keep a publicly accessible rental index covering every registered rental property. This index must contain all registration information, completed inspection checklists, and a running history of violations, fires, or other incidents tied to each property. The index is not restricted to any particular class of requestor — any person may seek access to it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Because New Paltz Village Code ch. 129 § 129-9 makes the rental index — including inspection checklists and incident histories — available to the general public, operators of registered rental properties should be aware that their compliance record is part of a transparent public document. Landlords who keep properties in good standing and promptly resolve violations generally maintain a cleaner public record in the index. Staying current with registration requirements and inspection checklists is the foundation of a favorable entry in the index.

New Paltz Village Code ch. 129 § 129-9 gives any person the right to review the rental index maintained by the Code Enforcement Official, which includes inspection checklists and a full history of violations, fires, and other incidents at a given property. Prospective or current tenants can request access to this index to research the compliance and safety history of a rental unit before or during a tenancy. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New Paltz Village regulations can help explain how information found in the index might be relevant to a housing situation.
