Newburgh, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 240 § 240-9
Requited postings
Operative Text
A. The rental license issued under this article shall contain the following information: (1) The address, type of structure, and structure classification; (2) The date of inspection; (3) The date of issuance; (4) The expiration date; (5) Number of dwelling units; (6) A statement indicating whether the structure is equipped with a fire alarm system; (7) A statement indicating whether the structure is equipped with a sprinkler system; (8) Local contact information, including name, address, and phone number for the owner or owner's designated representative; (9) The maximum number of permanent and/or temporary occupants permitted. B. Every licensee of a rental property with more than four units shall conspicuously post the current rental license certificate in the main entryway or other conspicuous location. For rental properties of four or fewer units, the licensee must provide a copy of the rental license certificate to each tenant by attaching a copy to the tenant's copy of the executed lease agreement. C. The City's trash and refuse policies and procedures and alternate-side street parking regulations shall be conspicuously posted in the main entryway or other conspicuous location. For rental properties with only one dwelling unit or with no common entryway, the owner must provide a copy of these policies, procedures, and regulations with the tenant's copy of the executed lease agreement.
Section 240-9 of Newburgh's Code of Ordinances establishes what information a rental license must display and how that license must be shared with tenants. For buildings with more than four units, the license certificate must be posted visibly in a common entryway; for smaller properties, a copy must be attached to each tenant's signed lease. The same section also requires that the city's trash, refuse, and alternate-side parking rules be posted prominently or provided directly to tenants alongside their lease.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 240-9, compliant operators ensure their rental license certificate includes all nine required data points—such as inspection dates, occupancy limits, fire alarm and sprinkler status, and local contact information. Operators of properties with more than four units post the current certificate conspicuously in the main entryway, while those with four or fewer units attach a copy to each executed lease. Separately, § 240-9(C) requires that city trash, refuse, and alternate-side parking policies also be posted in common areas or delivered with the lease for single-unit or no-common-entryway properties.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 240-9 gives tenants the right to receive or have access to their building's rental license certificate, which must include key details such as the permitted number of occupants, fire safety equipment status, and owner contact information. Tenants in buildings of four or fewer units should expect a copy of the license attached to their signed lease, along with the city's trash and parking policies. If these materials were not provided as required, tenants may raise the omission with the City of Newburgh's relevant licensing or code enforcement office, or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
