Port Jervis, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 430 § 430-3
Exceptions
Operative Text
In the event that a building is a one-family house, such notice need not be posted. In the event that a building is a two-family house and the owner of the building resides in the building, such notice need not be posted, but the owner shall furnish, in writing, each tenant and the Building Department with the information required in § 430-2 above.
Port Jervis, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 430 § 430-3 establishes two exceptions to the general notice-posting requirement found in § 430-2. Single-family homes are fully exempt from posting the required notice. Two-family homes where the owner lives on the premises are also exempt from posting, but the owner must still deliver the § 430-2 information in writing to each tenant and to the Building Department.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 430-3, operators of single-family homes have no posting obligation at all. Owners of owner-occupied two-family buildings who rely on this exception generally ensure they provide the required § 430-2 information in writing to every tenant and submit the same information to the Port Jervis Building Department, since the written-delivery requirement substitutes for—but does not eliminate—the underlying disclosure obligation. Keeping copies of those written notices and any Building Department submissions is a practice consistent with demonstrating compliance.

Section 430-3 means that if you live in an owner-occupied two-family building, your landlord is not required to post the § 430-2 notice on the premises, but is still required to give you that same information in writing. If you have not received the written disclosure required under § 430-2, you may consider contacting the Port Jervis Building Department, which is also entitled to receive that information under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Port Jervis ordinances can help you understand what options may be available if the written notice was never provided.
