New Paltz Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 129 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 129-6
Registration and inspection required
Operative Text
A. Any rental property shall be registered and inspected annually in accordance herewith. B. If the owner of a registered rental property does not maintain his or her primary residence within 15 miles of the Village of New Paltz, said owner shall appoint a property manager who does maintain his primary residence within that distance, and, in that event, such property manager shall be registered with the Code Enforcement Official along with the rental property itself. C. Whenever ownership of a rental property is transferred, the new owner - if the property is to be rented - must notify the Code Enforcement Official of the change of ownership within 15 days of the date of change in title. No additional annual fee for the year in which the transfer was completed shall be required from the new owner of the rental property. The new owner if the property is to be rented shall be liable for compliance with this chapter and the rental property registration requirements as set forth herein, including any violations thereof whether before or after taking title.
Under New Paltz Village Code ch. 129 § 129-6, every rental property in the village must be registered and inspected on an annual basis. Owners who live more than 15 miles from the village are required to designate a property manager who does live within that distance, and that manager must also be registered with the Code Enforcement Official. When a rental property changes hands, the new owner must notify the Code Enforcement Official within 15 days and takes on full responsibility for compliance—including any pre-existing violations—though no additional annual registration fee is owed for the year the transfer occurred.

New Paltz Village Code ch. 129 § 129-6 establishes that every rental property must be registered and inspected annually, which is a baseline protection for renters. If a property is not properly registered or lacks a required local property manager, tenants may be able to raise that non-compliance as a relevant issue when dealing with housing concerns or code enforcement matters. Tenants who believe their rental is out of compliance with registration requirements can contact the village's Code Enforcement Official directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
