Registration of landlords
Operative Text
A. There shall be a Rental Dwelling Unit Registry. It shall be the responsibility of all landlords within the Village to register as such with the Code Enforcement Officer. The Code Enforcement Officer shall promulgate regulations and procedures to effectuate said registry and make same available to the public. B. Within the Rental Dwelling Unit Registry shall be a provision for registration of agents. All landlords who own rental dwelling units within the Village of Red Creek but live outside of Wayne County shall appoint an agent to serve and register said agent with the Code Enforcement Officer. The agent must live within Wayne County. Service of an appearance ticket as defined in the New York State Criminal Procedure Law upon said agent for service shall constitute good and sufficient service as if the landlord had been served himself within Wayne County.
Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 § 187-9 establishes a Rental Dwelling Unit Registry administered by the Village's Code Enforcement Officer, requiring all landlords to register. Landlords who own rental property in Red Creek but reside outside Wayne County must additionally designate and register a local agent who lives within Wayne County. Once registered, that agent can be legally served with an appearance ticket on the landlord's behalf, carrying the same legal effect as direct service on the landlord.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 187-9, operators of rental dwelling units in Red Creek are generally expected to complete registration with the Code Enforcement Officer and to monitor any regulations or procedures the Officer publishes to govern that registry. Landlords residing outside Wayne County take the additional step of identifying a Wayne County–resident agent, registering that agent with the Code Enforcement Officer, and keeping that registration current so that legal notices can be properly served. Maintaining an up-to-date agent registration helps ensure that service of an appearance ticket on the agent is treated as valid service on the landlord under New York State Criminal Procedure Law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 187-9 of Red Creek's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a publicly accessible Rental Dwelling Unit Registry they can consult to identify who is registered as their landlord or the landlord's designated local agent. Because a registered agent living in Wayne County can be legally served on the landlord's behalf, tenants may find it easier to pursue legal processes against an out-of-county landlord when proper registration is in place. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to comply with registration requirements may consider contacting the Village's Code Enforcement Officer or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
