Register
Operative Text
The licensee shall at all times maintain a current register setting forth the name of every occupant, adult or child, and the room or rooms occupied, and such room or rooms shall be identified by such designations as conform to the diagram as provided for in § 211-4D of this chapter. The register shall also contain the license registration of any motor vehicle owned by any occupant.
Under Mount Vernon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 211 § 211-14, any holder of a residential rental license is required to keep an up-to-date register listing every occupant—adults and children alike—along with the specific room or rooms each person occupies, identified according to the diagram required elsewhere in the chapter. The register must also record the license plate number of any motor vehicle owned by an occupant. This rule establishes an ongoing recordkeeping obligation tied to the license itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Mount Vernon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 211 § 211-14 generally keep a living register that is updated whenever occupancy changes, ensuring every resident—regardless of age—is listed alongside their assigned room or rooms, using the room designations that match the diagram filed under § 211-4D. Compliant operators also record the vehicle registration information for any motor vehicle owned by an occupant. Maintaining this register current at all times is a condition of holding the rental license, so periodic audits of the document against actual occupancy are a common practice.

Under Mount Vernon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 211 § 211-14, tenants have an interest in knowing that their landlord is required to maintain an accurate register that includes all occupants—children included—and their room assignments. If a landlord appears to be operating without proper records or in violation of licensing requirements, tenants may contact the City of Mount Vernon's code enforcement or housing office to inquire about compliance.
