Such registry shall be available for inspection by the public upon reasonable request and notice.
Under Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-11, the Village's Building Inspector assigns a unique registration number to each approved rental permit, with the leading letter indicating the permit type: "H" for hosted short-term rentals, "O" for owner-occupied short-term rentals, and "R" for resident short-term rentals. The Village is required to maintain a centralized registry containing each permitted unit's address, owner and owner-representative contact information, and permit type. This registry is a public record that anyone may inspect upon providing reasonable request and notice.

Operators subject to Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-11 should be aware that once a rental permit is issued, the Building Inspector assigns a registration number whose prefix reflects the permit category — "H," "O," or "R." Because the registry is publicly accessible, compliant operators generally ensure that the contact details on file with the Village remain current and accurately reflect the owner or any authorized owner representative. Keeping this information up to date helps avoid discrepancies that could arise when the public or Village officials consult the registry.

Section 103-11 of Greenport's Code of Ordinances ch. 103 establishes a public registry of all short-term rental permits, which members of the public — including tenants and neighbors — may inspect upon reasonable request and notice. This registry can be a useful starting point for verifying whether a dwelling unit holds a valid permit and identifying the type of permit (hosted, owner-occupied, or resident) associated with a given address. Tenants who have concerns about a rental's permit status may consult the registry directly, reach out to the Village's Building Inspector's office, or connect with a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on next steps.
