Section 132-3 of Corning, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 requires that owners of multiple dwellings within the City of Corning file an annual registration notice with the city by May 1 each year, providing ownership details, property address, and apartment and room counts. A registration fee applies, and unpaid fees can be added to the property tax bill with a 25% surcharge if not paid within 30 days of mailing. When ownership or control of a property changes, the new owner must file an amended registration notice within 30 days of that transfer.

Section 132-3 establishes a public registration system for multiple dwellings in Corning, meaning tenants can look to the City's registration records to identify the current legal owner of their building and confirm that ownership information is up to date. If a building's ownership has changed and no amended registration was filed within 30 days as required by § 132-3, that gap in compliance may be relevant information when raising concerns with the City or a tenant-rights organization. Tenants who have questions about whether their building is properly registered can inquire at City offices, where registration forms and records are made available.
