Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-19
Posting name of owner and agent
Operative Text
Every owner of a multiple dwelling shall post in a conspicuous place in such dwelling the name, address and telephone number of the owner of the premises and the name, address and telephone number of a local responsible person over twenty-one (21) years old, residing in or doing business in the municipality, who shall be responsible for the care and management of such dwelling when the owner lives or is out of the municipal limits. Except when it is necessary to replace this information, no person shall remove, mutilate, destroy or obliterate any such sign or the lettering thereon.
Under Pelham, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-19, every owner of a multiple dwelling is required to post, in a conspicuous location within the building, the name, address, and telephone number of both the owner and a designated local responsible person who is at least 21 years old and resides or does business within the municipality. This local contact serves as the responsible party for the care and management of the dwelling when the owner is outside Pelham's municipal limits. Once posted, the sign is legally protected — no one may remove, damage, destroy, or obscure it except to update the information.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of multiple dwellings in Pelham should ensure that a clearly visible notice is posted in a common area of the building, displaying the owner's name, address, and phone number alongside the same details for a qualifying local responsible person, as required by ch. 54 § 54-19. The designated local contact must be at least 21 years old and must reside or conduct business within the municipality, making them reachable when the owner is away. Compliant operators keep this posting current and intact, replacing it only when the contact information changes.
