Thompson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 187-3
Exceptions
Operative Text
In the event that a building is a one-family house, such notice need not be posted. In the event that a building is a two-family house and the owner of the building resides in the building, such notice need not be posted, but the owner shall furnish, in writing, each tenant and the Building Department with the information required in § 187-2 above.
Section 187-3 of Thompson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 carves out two exceptions to the general notice-posting requirement established in § 187-2. Single-family homes are fully exempt from posting the required notice. Two-family homes where the owner lives on the premises are also exempt from posting, but the owner must still deliver the § 187-2 information in writing to each tenant and to the Building Department.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 187-3, operators of one-family homes are not required to post the notice described in § 187-2. Owner-occupants of two-family buildings are similarly relieved of the posting obligation, but compliant operators in that situation still provide the required § 187-2 information in writing directly to each tenant and file a copy with the Building Department. Keeping dated records of those written disclosures and any submissions to the Building Department is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating compliance.

Section 187-3 means that tenants in owner-occupied two-family buildings in Thompson should expect to receive the § 187-2 disclosures in written form rather than as a posted notice. If a tenant in such a building has not received the required written information, that gap may be relevant to any complaint or proceeding involving the Building Department. Tenants who have questions about whether the exception applies to their building or what information they are entitled to receive may find it useful to contact the Thompson Building Department or a local tenant-rights organization.
