Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-3
Absentee landowner registry
Operative Text
Every property owner who does not reside on the property shall be required to provide to the City Code Enforcement Department a name, address and phone number of a contact person who may be reached in case of emergency.
Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 176 § 176-3 establishes an absentee landowner registry requirement: any property owner who does not live on their own property must register a designated contact person with the City Code Enforcement Department. The registration must include the contact person's name, mailing address, and phone number. This information is intended to give the city a reliable point of contact in emergency situations involving the property.

Under ch. 176 § 176-3, property owners who do not reside at their rental or investment property are expected to keep an up-to-date contact record on file with the Hudson City Code Enforcement Department. Compliant operators typically designate a responsible individual—such as a property manager or trusted agent—whose name, address, and phone number are current and reachable at any hour. Keeping this registration accurate whenever contact information changes is a standard part of ongoing compliance with the absentee landowner registry.

Hudson's absentee landowner registry under ch. 176 § 176-3 means that the City Code Enforcement Department should have a contact person on file for any property whose owner does not live on-site. If tenants are unable to reach their landlord in an emergency, the City Code Enforcement Department may be a resource for locating the registered contact. Tenants who believe their landlord has failed to comply with this registry requirement can raise the issue with the City Code Enforcement Department or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
