Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 75 § 75-10 requires building owners in the Village of Fort Plain to display a notice—at least six by eight inches—in a prominent common area, listing the owner's contact information, the management company's contact information, and the resident superintendent's contact information if one exists. One-family homes are fully exempt, and owner-occupied two- or three-family homes are exempt from posting but must still provide management contact details directly to tenants.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 75 § 75-10, compliant building owners generally ensure that a properly sized notice is mounted in a visible common area and kept current at all times. Operators of owner-occupied two- or three-family homes typically deliver the required management contact information directly to each tenant in writing rather than posting it. When any covered change occurs—new owner, new agent, or new superintendent—diligent operators update the posted notice and submit the revised designations to the Village Clerk within the 30-day window.

Fort Plain, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 75 § 75-10 gives tenants in covered buildings the right to see clearly posted contact information for the owner, management, and superintendent in a common area of their building. If you live in an owner-occupied two- or three-family home, the owner is required to provide management contact details to you directly rather than through a posted notice. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being met may consider contacting the Village of Fort Plain's local code enforcement office, reviewing the ordinance with a tenant-rights organization, or raising the violation in any relevant housing proceeding.
