Operative Text
A. (1) The name and address of the owner or lessor upon whom violation notices and orders may be served. (2) A description of the property in which the rental housing unit is located, as described in the tax assessment roll for the Village of Elmsford, by section, sheet, block and lot/parcel with the correct street address, which will enable the Code Enforcement Officer to locate the rental housing unit. (3) Such other appropriate information as may be requested by the Code Enforcement Officer, including a diagram of the rental housing unit and a description of any security or fire alarm or protection system. B. The applicant shall pay an application fee of $50 with the application for the rental permit.
Section 265-5 of Elmsford's Code of Ordinances establishes what information must be included in a rental permit application and sets the required fee. Applicants must provide the owner or lessor's contact details for service of notices, a tax-roll-based property description sufficient for the Code Enforcement Officer to locate the unit, and any additional information the officer requests—such as a unit diagram or description of security or fire alarm systems. A $50 application fee must accompany the submission.

This registration record—including the owner or lessor's name and address—can be a useful reference if a tenant needs to identify who is legally responsible for the property or where official notices should be directed.
