Section 139-2 is designed in part to benefit renters by ensuring the Village can identify who is responsible for managing any rental property within Otego. Because the registry ties a responsible party to each property, tenants have a clearer path to identifying the correct person or entity when housing concerns arise. Tenants who encounter difficulty identifying their landlord or a management contact may find it useful to reach out to Village offices or a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how the registry information can be accessed.
