White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-11 requires that a Rental Housing License Certificate be displayed in a visible location within a building's vestibule or lobby, mounted permanently on the wall and protected under clear glass or plastic. The rule is designed to ensure that all tenants can easily see and verify that their building holds a valid rental license. This is a physical posting requirement, not simply a record-keeping obligation.

For Property Managers

Under White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-11, compliant operators mount the Rental Housing License Certificate in the building vestibule or lobby where every tenant can readily see it. The certificate is permanently affixed to the wall and covered with clear glass or plastic to protect it while keeping it legible. Operators generally check periodically that the posting remains intact, visible, and current whenever a license is renewed.

For Tenants

White Plains Mun. Code ch. 4-29 § 4-29-11 gives tenants the right to see their building's Rental Housing License Certificate posted in the vestibule or lobby, mounted on the wall under clear glass or plastic. If the certificate is missing, obscured, or not posted in a common area, that may indicate a compliance issue worth noting. Tenants who cannot locate the required posting may consider contacting the City of White Plains or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
