This registration must be filed annually by January 31 with the Village's Building, Planning and Zoning Department, and a new filing is required within 30 days whenever ownership changes. Prospective buyers must also file before the Village will release certificates of occupancy or records of open violations, and the designated individual can legally bind the owner to civil or criminal settlements, fines, or judgments.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 287-4, compliant property owners in Sloatsburg maintain an up-to-date registration on file with the Building, Planning and Zoning Department, naming a Rockland County resident as their authorized representative each year by January 31. Operators who acquire property mid-year submit a new designation within 30 days of the ownership transfer, and prospective purchasers file before requesting certificates of occupancy or open-violation records. Because the designated individual can bind the owner to fines, judgments, and settlements arising from Village enforcement actions, owners generally take care in selecting and keeping that contact information current.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 287-4 of the Sloatsburg Code creates a public record of who is legally authorized to receive notices and act on behalf of every property owner in the Village, which can be a useful starting point when a tenant needs to identify a responsible party for management or legal purposes. Tenants may contact the Building, Planning and Zoning Department to inquire about the registered authorized individual for a given property. Those who believe a landlord is operating without a required registration may raise that fact when filing a complaint with the Village or when consulting a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Rockland County housing rules.
