Registers
Operative Text
Any person operating such a rooming house or boardinghouse pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall keep upon such premises a list showing the names of all persons residing or living in or upon said premises and shall exhibit said list to any authorized representative of the Village of Sleepy Hollow at any reasonable time upon demand, and the failure to so exhibit same shall constitute a violation and be punished in accordance with § 139-8 .
Under Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-7, any rooming house or boardinghouse operating under Chapter 139 must maintain an on-site register listing the names of all current residents. This list must be made available to authorized Village of Sleepy Hollow representatives upon request at any reasonable time. Failure to produce the list when demanded is itself treated as a violation, subject to punishment under § 139-8.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses and boardinghouses covered by ch. 139 § 139-7 generally keep an up-to-date, on-site resident register that accurately reflects everyone currently living on the premises. Compliant operators make this register readily accessible so it can be presented to any authorized Village representative without delay when a reasonable request is made. Because non-production of the list is independently punishable under § 139-8, maintaining and promptly producing the register is a core recordkeeping obligation under this chapter.

Section 139-7 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that the operator of a rooming house or boardinghouse is required to keep a register of residents — this is an obligation placed on the operator, not on residents themselves. Tenants who believe their operator is failing to comply with ch. 139 § 139-7 may consider contacting the Village of Sleepy Hollow directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Awareness of this provision can also be relevant if questions about occupancy records arise in other housing-related proceedings.
