Section 119-3 of Fonda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 119 establishes baseline requirements for rental property registration and oversight in the Village of Fonda. All rental properties—residential and commercial—must be registered with the Village, and ownership changes trigger a 60-day re-registration window. Absentee landlords are required to designate an emergency contact for each property, and all rental properties are subject to periodic inspections by the Village Code Enforcement Officer to verify compliance with applicable building and safety codes. Failure to register constitutes a violation subject to the penalties outlined in the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 119-3 of Fonda's rental regulations, compliant property owners register each rental property with the Village of Fonda by the applicable deadline—initially by December 1 in the year the chapter takes effect, or as soon as practicable after adoption. Operators who acquire a registered rental property complete re-registration within 60 days of assuming ownership, and those who do not reside locally maintain a designated emergency contact for each property. Keeping registration current and cooperating with inspections by the Village Code Enforcement Officer are the hallmarks of ongoing compliance under this section.

Section 119-3 gives tenants in Fonda rental properties an interest in knowing whether their landlord has properly registered the property with the Village, since failure to register is itself a violation of Chapter 119. Tenants may contact the Village of Fonda or the Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about a property's registration status or to request an inspection if building or safety code concerns arise. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help renters understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a landlord has not met the requirements of § 119-3.
