Registration of multiple dwellings
Operative Text
Every owner of a multiple dwelling shall file with the Department the following current information: A. The name, address and telephone number of the owner. B. The corporate name and names, titles, addresses and telephone numbers of the responsible officers of the corporation if the building is owned by a corporation. C. The name, address and telephone number of a local responsible person over 21 years old, residing or doing business in the municipality, who shall be responsible for the care and management of such dwelling and is authorized to accept legal process on behalf of the owner when the owner lives or is out of the municipal limits. D. The name, address and telephone number of the new owner within 48 hours after having sold or otherwise disposed of ownership in said dwelling. E. Any other changes applicable to owner registration.
Section 245-77 of the Sleepy Hollow Code of Ordinances requires every owner of a multiple dwelling to register specific contact and ownership information with the Department. This includes the owner's identity, corporate officer details if applicable, a designated local contact person over 21 who can accept legal process, and updated ownership information within 48 hours of any sale or transfer. The registration must also reflect any other changes relevant to the owner's registration on file.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-77, compliant operators of multiple dwellings in Sleepy Hollow maintain a current registration on file with the Department that includes their own contact details, corporate officer information if the property is held by a corporation, and the name of a local responsible person over 21 who resides or does business within the municipality. That local contact must be authorized to accept legal process on the owner's behalf when the owner is outside municipal limits. When ownership changes hands, the outgoing owner is responsible for notifying the Department of the new owner's information within 48 hours of the transfer.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 245-77 establishes a public accountability mechanism by requiring multiple dwelling owners to keep current registration information on file with the Sleepy Hollow Department, including a local contact authorized to accept legal process. This means tenants generally have a documented point of contact for the building and a named party who can be served with legal notices. Tenants who believe a building is not in compliance with § 245-77 may consider contacting the Department directly, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the registration gap is relevant to any housing proceeding they are involved in.
