Cortlandt, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 230 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 230-6
Registration of existing and new rental units
Operative Text
A. All rental dwellings with three or more units existing as of the effective date of this chapter shall be registered on or before August 1, 2010. The Director of Technical Services may require and order registration prior to that date for any dwelling cited in a notice under the Code of the Town of Cortlandt. 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 230-6 of Cortlandt's Code of Ordinances establishes registration requirements for rental dwellings. Buildings with three or more rental units that existed when the chapter took effect were required to be registered by August 1, 2010, while newly built or newly converted rental dwellings must be registered before any tenant is allowed to move in. The Director of Technical Services also holds authority to require earlier registration for any dwelling cited under the Town of Cortlandt's Code, and failure to comply with such an order constitutes a violation of the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 230-6, compliant rental property owners in Cortlandt ensure that any new construction or newly converted rental dwelling is registered with the Town before the first occupant moves in. Operators also remain attentive to any notices issued under the Town of Cortlandt Code, since the Director of Technical Services can order registration ahead of any standard deadline, and non-compliance with such an order is treated as a chapter violation. Maintaining current registration records and responding promptly to any official notices are practices generally associated with operating in good standing under this provision.

Section 230-6 gives tenants a basis to check whether their building is properly registered with the Town of Cortlandt, particularly in rental dwellings with three or more units or in newly converted properties. If a landlord has not complied with the registration requirement or has ignored an order from the Director of Technical Services, that non-compliance constitutes a violation of the chapter that may be relevant in housing-related proceedings. Tenants who have questions about their building's registration status can contact the Town of Cortlandt's Department of Technical Services or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
