Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 221 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 221-1
Legislative intent
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Walden determines that it is in the best interests of the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the Village to require owners of residential rental properties within the Village of Walden to annually register their properties with the Building Department of the Village. In this way, the Village will be able to identify the persons responsible for the care and management of such properties, so it is in the best interest of their tenants and neighbors, to ensure that the housing stock meets New York State fire, health and safety standards and is otherwise in compliance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Section 221-1 of Walden, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 221 establishes the Village of Walden's rationale for requiring annual registration of residential rental properties with the Village's Building Department. The rule is grounded in the Village's interest in identifying responsible property owners and managers, and in ensuring that rental housing meets New York State fire, health, and safety standards as well as other applicable local, state, and federal regulations. This provision sets the policy foundation upon which the registration program operates.
