Under Utica, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 2-12 § 2-12-535, building owners in the City of Utica are generally required to post a notice—at least six inches by eight inches—in a conspicuous location in a main public area of the building.

Certain smaller owner-occupied buildings are exempt from the posting requirement, though owners of those properties may still need to provide superintendent contact information directly to tenants.

Operators of buildings subject to Utica, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 2-12 § 2-12-535 typically ensure that a properly sized notice—no smaller than six by eight inches—is displayed in a main public area and kept current with accurate management and superintendent contact details. Owners of one-family homes are fully exempt, while owners who reside in two- or three-family buildings, or in larger multi-family buildings, are exempt from posting but are expected to furnish each tenant directly with the superintendent's contact information. Compliant operators routinely verify that posted or distributed information reflects any changes in management personnel or contact details.
