Rental registry established
Operative Text
A. There is hereby established in the Village a rental registry, which shall be maintained by the Village Clerk. The registry shall contain at least the following documents and information for every rental property in the Village: (1) The address of the rental property; (2) The legal name(s) of the owner(s); (3) The legal name(s) of the property manager, if other than the owner; (4) Current addresses and phone numbers for the owner(s) and property manager(s); (5) The period of the current lease or rental arrangement; (6) An affidavit from each owner of the subject property attesting that, to the best of his, her or their knowledge, the premises are suitable for habitation and in compliance with all applicable health and safety laws, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code; and (7) Such other information as the Village Clerk and Chief of Police shall require in the interest of public safety and convenience. B. The obligation to register a rental property with the Village shall be ongoing in nature, such that the owner, property manager, or other person or entity having charge of such a property shall also have an obligation to keep the documents and information on file with the Village current and shall renew the registration for their rental property on at least an annual basis.
Huntington Bay, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 63 § 63-3 establishes a rental registry maintained by the Village Clerk that must include the property address, owner and property manager names and contact information, current lease period, and a sworn affidavit from each owner attesting that the property meets applicable health and safety standards, including the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The Village Clerk and Chief of Police may also require additional information in the interest of public safety. Registration is not a one-time event — owners or their designated managers must keep all filed information current and renew the registration at least once per year.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 63 § 63-3, operators of rental properties in Huntington Bay generally maintain an active, up-to-date registration with the Village Clerk that includes accurate contact information for both the owner and any property manager, the current lease term, and a signed affidavit affirming the property's compliance with health and safety requirements. Because the obligation is ongoing, compliant operators typically update their registry records whenever ownership, management, or contact details change and complete the required annual renewal before it lapses. Keeping the affidavit current also means staying attentive to the property's condition relative to the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and other applicable regulations.

Section 63-3 of Huntington Bay's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis for knowing that their landlord is required to register the rental property with the Village Clerk and to certify, under oath, that the premises meet health and safety standards. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord has not registered or has allowed a registration to lapse, that information may be relevant when raising concerns with Village officials or a tenant-rights organization. Tenants who have questions about whether a property is properly registered can inquire with the Village Clerk's office, which maintains the registry.
