Akron, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-5
Violations; penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Inaccurate or incomplete information. It shall be a violation of this article for an owner or a responsible person to provide inaccurate information for the registry of rental dwellings or to fail to provide the information required herein for the registry and to register or to fail to reregister after the expiration of the original permit. B. A violation of this article will be assessed on each day that the property is not registered, up to 200 days, after notice to the owner to comply. The penalty shall be assessed in the amount of the general penalty (Code Chapter 1 , § 1-14 ).
Section 120-5 of Akron, N.Y.'s rental dwelling registry ordinance establishes two categories of violations: submitting inaccurate or incomplete information to the rental registry, and failing to register or re-register a rental property as required. Once an owner receives notice to comply, a daily penalty accrues for each day the property remains unregistered, for up to 200 days. The penalty amount is set by the village's general penalty provision found in Code Chapter 1, § 1-14.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 120-5, compliant rental property owners in Akron, N.Y. ensure that all information submitted to the rental dwelling registry is accurate and complete, and that registrations are renewed before any permit expires. Because the penalty clock under this section begins running after notice is issued and can accumulate daily for up to 200 days, operators generally treat any notice of non-compliance as requiring prompt attention. Keeping records of registration submissions and renewal dates helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the registry requirements of Chapter 120.

Section 120-5 establishes that landlords who provide false or incomplete registry information, or who fail to register or re-register their rental property, are in violation of Akron, N.Y.'s Chapter 120 ordinance. Tenants who believe their landlord has not properly registered the rental dwelling may contact the village to inquire about the property's registration status, since unregistered properties can trigger daily penalties against the owner. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with § 120-5.
