Floral Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 64 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 64-1
Designation of agent
Operative Text
A. Every owner of a business, multiple dwelling or non-owner-occupied dwelling, managing agent or other person or entity acting on behalf of said owner shall be required to complete and file a registration form with the Building Department, in such form as is to be supplied by the Superintendent thereof, which form shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following information: (1) The name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address, both daytime and evening, where such owner resides or may be contacted; (2) The name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address, both daytime and evening, of a person or entity designated therein as a duly authorized agent for said owner, located within the physical area of the County of Nassau (or, if in Queens County, within five miles from the particular location); and (3) Such other, further and/or additional information as may be required by the Superintendent of the Building Department. B. A new and/or revised registration form shall be filed with the Building Department within 30 days after the date of execution of any deed or other instrument, upon each and every sale, transfer, assignment or any other change of ownership and/or any change or replacement of such resident agent. C. Any person or entity who or which shall fail to file or refile the initial registration form or amendment thereof shall be subject to a fine or civil penalty not exceeding $100 or such other amount as may, from time to time, be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees. In addition, any person or entity violating the provisions of this section shall be a disorderly person, subject to additional penalties and/or punishment as set forth in § 32-14 of this Code. D. The initial filing of the registration form shall be made on or before September 1, 2010.
Section 64-1 of Floral Park's Code of Ordinances requires owners of businesses, multiple dwellings, and non-owner-occupied dwellings to register with the Building Department by filing a form that identifies the owner's contact information and designates a local agent within Nassau County (or within five miles if in Queens County). Whenever ownership changes or the designated agent is replaced, an updated form must be filed within 30 days of that change. Failure to file or update the registration can result in a civil penalty of up to $100, or a higher amount set by the Board of Trustees, and may also expose the responsible party to additional penalties as a disorderly person under § 32-14 of the Code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 64-1, compliant property owners of businesses, multiple dwellings, or non-owner-occupied properties in Floral Park maintain a current registration on file with the Building Department that includes both their own contact details and those of a designated agent located within Nassau County or within five miles if the property is in Queens County. Operators generally track ownership transfers and agent changes carefully, submitting a revised registration form to the Building Department within the 30-day window required by the provision. Keeping this registration current helps avoid civil penalties of up to $100 per violation—or a higher amount if the Board of Trustees adjusts that figure—as well as the additional disorderly-person penalties referenced in § 32-14.

Section 64-1 establishes that tenants of non-owner-occupied dwellings in Floral Park have a right to expect that their landlord has registered a locally accessible designated agent with the Building Department, making it easier to identify and contact a responsible party for the property. If a tenant believes no registration has been filed or that the registration is outdated after a change of ownership or agent, that concern can be raised with the Floral Park Building Department, which administers the registration program under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing rules can help residents understand how the agent-designation requirement under § 64-1 may be relevant to their situation.
