Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-31
A. All rental dwellings existing as of the effective date of this chapter shall be registered on or before August 1, 2020. 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. C. Required. Every owner of a rental dwelling, who does not reside in Broome County or adjoining county, must designate a property manager to be responsible for maintaining said property in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. For property owners of two or less rental dwelling units, said property manager must have a "power of attorney" to grant the property manager the authority to act in behalf of the property owner in matters of property issues, including, but not exclusive, to twenty-four-hour inspections, etc. For property owners with three or more rental units in the Village of Endicott, the property owner must additionally register a property manager. This includes single-family homes that are rentals. Property owners have 30 days to register this property after acquiring property. D. Registering of property managers. Property owners must register with the Code Enforcement Officer the address of the property, number of apartments, number of occupants for each apartment, the property owner's name and proof of ownership, address and proof of residency, email address, and phone number, the property manager's name, address, email address, and phone number. Post office box addresses are not acceptable. A fee of $75 shall be payable upon registration. E. A designated agent of the property owner may be served with a notice of violation or order of violation or an appearance ticket or other service of process, whether criminal or civil, pursuant to and subject to the provisions of law, as if it actually was served upon the property owner. The property owner will also be sent any notices regarding this property. No property owner who designates an agent pursuant to the provisions of this article may assert the defense of lack of notice or lack of in persona jurisdiction based solely upon the service of process upon his designated agent. Any such property manager registration statement or designation of a managing agent shall be deemed prima facie proof of the statement therein contained, in any criminal or civil prosecution instituted by the Village of Endicott or by any proper prosecutorial agency against the owner or managing agent of a rental property. F. It shall be the responsibility of the property owner of a rental dwelling to contact the Code Enforcement Officer to reregister within 30 days after any changes occur in registration information. A new owner of a registered dwelling shall register the dwelling within 30 days of assuming ownership. G. Penalty. Any property owner in violation of the subsections above for a period of 30 days after notification by mail from the Code Enforcement Officer shall be levied a court appearance, and a fine of $50 for the first offense. Each week the violation continues shall be deemed a separate and distinct offense with a fine of $50 for each offense.

Plain English

Section 160-31 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances establishes a registration system for rental dwellings in the Village of Endicott. Owners who live outside Broome County or an adjoining county must designate a local property manager, and owners of three or more rental units must register a property manager regardless of where they live. Registration requires submitting detailed contact and property information to the Code Enforcement Officer along with a $75 fee, and any changes to that information must be updated within 30 days. A registered property manager or agent can be legally served on behalf of the owner, and the owner cannot later claim lack of notice as a defense.

For Property Managers

Under § 160-31, compliant rental property owners in Endicott ensure their properties are registered with the Code Enforcement Officer by the applicable deadline—August 1, 2020 for existing rentals, or before any new tenant occupies a newly converted or acquired unit. Owners living outside Broome County or an adjoining county designate a property manager with appropriate authority, and those with three or more units register that manager formally, providing full contact details and paying the $75 registration fee. Operators also track changes to registration information and submit updates within 30 days, since a 30-day lapse after mailed notification from the Code Enforcement Officer can trigger a $50 fine, with each additional week of non-compliance treated as a separate offense.

For Tenants

Section 160-31 is designed in part to ensure that tenants and enforcement authorities always have a reachable, legally accountable contact for any rental property in Endicott. Because a registered property manager can be formally served with notices and violation orders on the owner's behalf, tenants have a clear point of contact for property-related issues, and the owner cannot claim ignorance of notices delivered to that agent. Tenants who believe a landlord has failed to comply with the registration requirements of § 160-31 may report concerns to the Village of Endicott's Code Enforcement Officer, or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available.
