Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 § 116-6 generally keep an up-to-date, on-site register that records the name and occupation of every resident on the premises. Compliant operators make this register readily accessible so it can be produced promptly when a police officer, the Code Enforcement Officer, or a Fire Department representative requests it during a reasonable inspection. Because non-compliance can trigger license revocation, maintaining accurate and current records is a core operational practice under this chapter.
