Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental properties in Lockport should be aware that, under § 142-5, the information they provide during registration — including owner contact details and the name and local contact information of any property manager or agent — becomes part of a public-facing database. Compliant operators generally ensure that this information is accurate and up to date so that the database correctly reflects a valid certificate of registration for each building. Keeping registration current helps avoid a lapse in certificate status that would be visible to the public through the database.

Section 142-5 of Lockport's Code of Ordinances gives members of the public the right to consult the Code Enforcement Office's database to look up the registered owner, local property manager, and agent for any covered rental building, as well as whether a valid certificate of registration is on file. Tenants can use this database to identify who is legally responsible for a building's maintenance and to verify whether their building is properly registered. Those who find discrepancies or have concerns about a building's registration status may contact the Code Enforcement Office directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
