Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 146-7, property owners and managers in Norwood are expected to maintain current landlord or agent registration and to ensure that all occupied units hold a valid occupancy permit before tenants move in. Operators who stay current with registration and permit requirements generally avoid the escalating fines and potential imprisonment that this section imposes for first, second, and third offenses. Because violations under § 146-7 can also trigger penalties under other applicable codes, compliant operators typically treat registration and permitting as ongoing administrative obligations rather than one-time tasks.

Section 146-7 of Norwood's Code of Ordinances signals that landlords have affirmative obligations to register and to secure valid occupancy permits, and the village enforces these requirements through escalating penalties. Tenants who believe their landlord may be operating without proper registration or a valid permit can bring this to the attention of local code enforcement or village officials, who have authority to pursue penalties under this section. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal codes can help residents understand how these registration and permitting requirements may relate to their housing situation.
