For Property Managers

Under Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 9 § 27-134, compliant operators of non-owner-occupied one- and two-family rentals obtain the registration application form from the Division of Code Enforcement and submit a completed form for each such property. Operators generally ensure that all physical domicile and street addresses are provided for themselves, any corporate ownership entities, and any property managers — since P.O. box addresses are explicitly rejected. When ownership involves a corporation, partnership, or LLC, additional disclosures required by § 27-135 must also be included in the application.

For Tenants

Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 27, art. 9 § 27-134 requires landlords of non-owner-occupied one- and two-family rentals to register their properties with the Division of Code Enforcement and disclose accurate contact information for the owner and any property managers. Tenants can check whether their rental property has been properly registered by contacting the Division of Code Enforcement, and an unregistered property may be relevant information when raising concerns about housing conditions or code compliance. Tenant-rights organizations in Syracuse can help residents understand how registration status under § 27-134 may relate to other housing rights and available remedies.
