Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 287-10
Confidentiality of rental registration
Operative Text
Under Public Officers § 87, Subdivision 2(b), the information provided on rental registration forms, and that portion of the rental occupancy permit application required, shall be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law on the grounds that such disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The Building Department will institute strict policies to endure that information is available only to Village personnel who are engaged in the enforcement and administration of the provisions of this chapter.
Section 287-10 of Sloatsburg's rental registration ordinance establishes that information submitted on rental registration forms and rental occupancy permit applications is shielded from public disclosure under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), citing Public Officers Law § 87(2)(b). The rationale is that releasing such information would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Access to this data is restricted to Village personnel directly involved in enforcing or administering Chapter 287.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 287-10, the personal and property information that landlords submit as part of the rental registration and occupancy permit process is treated as confidential by the Village of Sloatsburg. Compliant operators can generally expect that their submitted details will not be released to the general public through FOIL requests. The Building Department is responsible for maintaining internal controls to limit access to authorized enforcement and administrative staff only.

Section 287-10 means that personal information collected through the rental registration process — including details that may relate to a tenant's occupancy — is protected from routine public disclosure under FOIL. Tenants whose information appears on these forms have a privacy interest recognized by Village ordinance and New York Public Officers Law. Those with questions about how their information is being handled may contact the Sloatsburg Building Department directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York housing law.
