Violations
Operative Text
A. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an owner to offer any building for rent, or to rent any building, or to allow any building to be occupied, other than by the owner of the property, without first submitting a landlord registration and designation form, and obtaining a residential rental registration permit. B. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an owner to fail to maintain any residential rental building in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. C. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an owner to fail to maintain the landlord registration statement or designation in compliance with the requirements of this chapter during all times that the owner rents a residential rental property or offers such property for rent. D. It shall be a violation of this chapter for an owner to fail to provide, maintain, or disable a carbon monoxide detector or a smoke detector required by law. When such detectors are required to be installed in or immediately adjacent to sleeping rooms, they shall be interconnected. E. It is the responsibility of the property owner to comply with all terms and provisions of this chapter and to ensure that his or her rental tenants, guests and invitees comply with this chapter and the terms and conditions of a rental permit shall be attributed to the failure of the property owner to discharge his or her responsibility to ensure such compliance.
New Paltz Town Code ch. 110 § 110-8 establishes several categories of violations for residential rental property owners. Renting or allowing occupancy of a building without first obtaining a residential rental registration permit is prohibited, as is failing to keep the property and registration records in compliance with chapter requirements. Owners are also responsible for ensuring that required carbon monoxide and smoke detectors—which must be interconnected when placed near sleeping rooms—are installed, maintained, and not disabled, and they bear responsibility for their tenants', guests', and invitees' compliance with the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under New Paltz Town Code ch. 110 § 110-8, compliant rental property operators generally secure a residential rental registration permit before listing or renting any unit, and they keep that registration current for as long as the property is offered or rented. They also maintain the physical condition of the rental building as the chapter requires, including ensuring that all legally mandated carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are installed, functional, interconnected where required near sleeping rooms, and never disabled. Because the ordinance attributes tenant, guest, and invitee non-compliance to the owner, operators typically establish clear lease terms and conduct periodic checks to confirm ongoing compliance with chapter requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
New Paltz Town Code ch. 110 § 110-8 gives tenants a basis to verify that their landlord has obtained a valid residential rental registration permit before or during their occupancy, since renting without one is itself a violation. Tenants who believe their landlord is failing to maintain the property, keep registration records current, or provide functioning and properly interconnected smoke or carbon monoxide detectors may raise those failures as potential violations of this chapter. General enforcement paths can include contacting the Town of New Paltz's code enforcement office to report a suspected violation, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
