Port Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 248 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 248-2
Administration and enforcement
Operative Text
A. Administration of the rental registry is the responsibility of the Director and the Department. B. This chapter shall be enforced by the Department, the Director, and Code Enforcement Officers.
Section 248-2 of Port Chester's rental registry ordinance (ch. 248) establishes which local officials are responsible for overseeing and enforcing the rental registry program. The Director and the Department hold administrative responsibility for the registry, while Code Enforcement Officers join them in carrying out enforcement of the chapter's requirements. This division of responsibility means multiple municipal actors have authority to act on violations or compliance matters under this chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Port Chester Code ch. 248 § 248-2, compliant rental property operators generally maintain current and accurate registrations with the Department, since both the Director and Code Enforcement Officers share enforcement authority. Because multiple officials can act on non-compliance, operators typically respond promptly to any correspondence or notices issued by the Department or its officers. Keeping registration records up to date and accessible helps demonstrate good-faith compliance with the chapter's administrative requirements.

Section 248-2 of Port Chester Code ch. 248 means that tenants have more than one avenue for raising concerns about a landlord's compliance with the rental registry—the Department, the Director, and Code Enforcement Officers all carry enforcement authority. If a rental unit appears to be unregistered or out of compliance, a tenant may consider contacting the Department directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Knowing that Code Enforcement Officers also share enforcement responsibility under § 248-2 can inform how a tenant decides to report a potential violation.
