Plain English

Section 435-3 of Peekskill's Code of Ordinances requires property owners and, where relevant, property managers to register covered properties with the City's Building Department by submitting a standardized form in duplicate. The form must capture contact details—including 24-hour emergency numbers—for the owner and any property manager, along with basic property information such as occupancy status and the number of dwelling units. Registered information is shared with the Police Department, fire alarm dispatchers, and the Department of Public Works, and is accessible to other City departments as needed. Owners who neither live nor do business in Peekskill must also designate a local agent authorized to accept legal service of process, or formally waive personal service in favor of certified mail.

For Property Managers

Under Peekskill Code § 435-3, compliant property owners and managers file a completed registration form—in duplicate—with the Building Department, ensuring all contact fields are current, including 24-hour emergency telephone numbers. If a third party completes the form on the owner's behalf, the owner must provide written approval of that registration. Owners without a Peekskill residence or business address generally designate a local agent for service of process or execute a written waiver accepting certified-mail service, and they update their registration whenever key contact information changes.

For Tenants

Peekskill Code § 435-3 establishes a public registration system that gives City departments—including police and fire dispatchers—reliable contact information for the owner or manager of every covered property. Tenants who cannot identify or reach their landlord may find that the Building Department's registration records provide a starting point for locating responsible parties or a designated local agent. Tenants who believe a property is unregistered or that registration information is inaccurate can raise that concern with the Peekskill Building Department or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
