Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 146-1
Purpose
Operative Text
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Norwood hereby establishes a program for the enactment, enforcement and administration of a rental permit requirement for all rental units within the corporate boundaries of Norwood and for the periodic registration of all landlords and rental property owners for the purpose of regulating rental property conditions and for maintaining an inventory of available rental housing.
Section 146-1 of Norwood, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 establishes the legal foundation and stated purpose of the village's rental permit program. Under this provision, all rental units within Norwood's corporate boundaries are subject to a permit requirement, and landlords and rental property owners must register periodically with the village. The program is designed to regulate the condition of rental properties and to help the village track the overall supply of available rental housing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 146-1 makes clear that operating a rental unit within Norwood requires participation in the village's rental permit and registration program. Compliant property owners generally obtain and maintain the required rental permit, complete periodic registrations as the program requires, and keep their properties in the condition standards the program is intended to enforce. Staying current with both the permit and registration obligations is the baseline expectation the Board of Trustees established when creating this framework.

Section 146-1 signals that Norwood has put a formal oversight structure in place for rental housing, meaning landlords are expected to be permitted and registered with the village. Tenants can use this framework as a reference point when evaluating whether their landlord is operating in compliance with local requirements — for example, by inquiring with the village about a property's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help explain how this registration program may relate to broader protections available to renters.
