Operative Text
A. Owners and lessors of premises, or their respective agents, shall, within 90 days from the date of mailing of registration forms by the Department of Building and Code Enforcement, file with such Department, on the registration forms provided by such Department, the following information: (1) The names and addresses of the owner and lessor, and of their respective agents, upon whom violation orders may be served; (2) A description of the property, by street and number or otherwise, as will enable the enforcement officers to locate the same; and (3) Such other appropriate information as may be requested, including, but not limited to, use of premises, available facilities, number of units, number and size of rooms, together with a schematic diagram showing the typical floor layout of the units and rooms with appropriate designations and identifications. B.

Section 300-57 of Mineola's Code of Ordinances requires owners and lessors of rental premises to register their properties with the Department of Building and Code Enforcement within 90 days of receiving registration forms. The registration must include contact information for owners, lessors, and their agents, a description of the property sufficient for enforcement officers to locate it, and details such as unit count, room sizes, and a schematic floor layout. Owners who live or work outside Mineola and do not regularly come into the municipality must designate a local agent who resides or regularly conducts business within the village.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Mineola Code § 300-57, compliant property owners and lessors file the required registration form with the Department of Building and Code Enforcement within the 90-day window that begins when forms are mailed. A complete submission typically includes accurate contact information for all owners, lessors, and agents authorized to receive violation orders, a clear property description, and a schematic diagram of unit and room layouts. Owners who are nonresidents without a regular business presence in Mineola generally designate a local agent—someone who lives in or regularly conducts business within the municipality—to satisfy the agent-designation requirement of § 300-57(B).
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 300-57 of the Mineola Code establishes a public registration system that is intended to ensure enforcement officers and residents can identify who is responsible for a rental property and how to reach them. If a landlord has not registered or has failed to designate a local agent as required by § 300-57(B), that non-compliance may be relevant if a housing code issue arises and proper service of violation orders becomes a question. Tenants who believe their landlord has not met the registration requirements of § 300-57 may consider contacting the Department of Building and Code Enforcement or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available.
