Schenectady, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 210 § 210-7
Required postings
Operative Text
A. A rental certificate shall be conspicuously posted inside each rental unit at all times. It shall be unlawful for any owner, tenant or occupant to remove or fail to post the current rental certificate. B. The Department of Public Works' trash/refuse policies and procedures shall be conspicuously posted in all rental buildings and units by the owner together with a current trash collection schedule.
Schenectady, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 210 § 210-7 establishes two mandatory posting requirements for rental properties. First, a valid rental certificate must be visibly displayed inside every rental unit at all times, and removing or failing to post it is a violation that can apply to owners, tenants, and occupants alike. Second, the Department of Public Works' trash and refuse policies, procedures, and current collection schedule must be conspicuously posted throughout rental buildings and units.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 210 § 210-7, compliant rental property operators ensure that a current rental certificate is posted in a visible location inside each unit and is replaced or updated whenever a new certificate is issued. Operators also obtain the Department of Public Works' trash and refuse policies and current collection schedule and post them conspicuously in all rental buildings and individual units. Keeping documentation of when and where these materials were posted can support a showing of ongoing compliance.

Section 210-7 of Schenectady's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to expect that a current rental certificate and trash/refuse information are visibly posted in their unit at all times. If these postings are absent, tenants may report the condition to the relevant Schenectady municipal authority or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Note that the ordinance also places an obligation on tenants and occupants not to remove the rental certificate themselves.
