Section 248-9 of the Port Chester Code requires landlords to keep their rental property registrations current on a two-year cycle, which can be a useful indicator of whether a property is properly registered with the village. Tenants who suspect their landlord has not complied with the registration requirements of § 248-9 may contact the Port Chester Department responsible for housing or code enforcement to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County housing rules can also help residents understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a landlord has failed to meet registration obligations.
