Baldwinsville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 255 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 255-5
Registration of existing and new rental units
Operative Text
A. All rental dwellings existing as of the effective date of this chapter shall be registered on or before March 1, 2020. The Code Enforcement Officer may require and order registration prior to that date for any dwelling cited in a notice under the Code of the Village of Baldwinsville. Failure to comply with such an order is a violation of this chapter. B. The owner of a new rental dwelling or any dwelling newly converted to a rental dwelling shall register the rental dwelling prior to allowing occupancy of any new rental unit.
Section 255-5 of the Baldwinsville Code of Ordinances establishes two registration timelines for rental dwellings. Rental units that existed when the chapter took effect were required to be registered by March 1, 2020, though the Code Enforcement Officer could require earlier registration for any dwelling cited under the Village Code. For newly created or newly converted rental dwellings, registration must occur before any tenant is allowed to occupy the unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 255-5, compliant rental property operators in Baldwinsville ensure that all existing rental units were registered by the March 1, 2020 deadline and that any new or newly converted rental dwelling is registered before the first tenant moves in. Operators also respond promptly to any early-registration order issued by the Code Enforcement Officer, since failure to comply with such an order constitutes a violation of Chapter 255. Keeping registration records current and on file helps demonstrate ongoing compliance if a notice or inspection arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 255-5 requires landlords to register rental dwellings with the Village of Baldwinsville before allowing occupancy of new or converted units, and by the established deadline for pre-existing units. If a tenant has reason to believe their unit was never registered as required under § 255-5, they may raise that concern with the Village's Code Enforcement Officer or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or defenses may be available. Documenting the timeline of occupancy and any communications with the landlord can be useful when exploring these general enforcement paths.
