Section 248-6 of Port Chester's Code of Ordinances establishes the specific process and content requirements for registering rental properties with the Village. Owners must submit a signed, perjury-verified form to the Department that includes property details, unit descriptions, owner and managing agent contact information, ownership structure, repair-contact information, and a three-year violation history. The completed form carries legal weight as prima facie evidence in any Village enforcement action, and failure to file on time or meet the requirements of § 248-5 constitutes a violation subject to penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental property in Port Chester generally maintain compliance with § 248-6 by submitting a fully completed registration form—signed under penalty of perjury—that covers all required data points, including ownership structure details such as shareholders or LLC members holding 10% or more. Compliant operators also keep that information current by promptly notifying the Director of any changes, such as a new managing agent or updated contact for repair requests. Because the form serves as prima facie evidence in enforcement proceedings and an application fee is required at filing, operators typically treat accuracy and timeliness as ongoing obligations rather than one-time tasks.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 248-6, tenants in Port Chester can expect that their landlord's registration form on file with the Village identifies who to contact for repair requests and discloses any violations cited against the property in the past three years. If a landlord has failed to register or keep registration information current, that failure constitutes a violation under this chapter and may be relevant in disputes or enforcement proceedings. Tenants who believe their landlord is not in compliance with § 248-6 may consider contacting the Village's Department directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
