Thompson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 187 § 187-4 establishes local contact requirements for corporate and out-of-county property owners. Any such owner must designate a person who both resides in Sullivan County and is authorized to receive legal notices and process on their behalf, with that contact information filed with the Building Department. When ownership, managing agent, or oil supplier changes, an updated identification sign must be posted, filed with the Building Department, and maintained within 10 days of the change.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Thompson Code ch. 187 § 187-4, corporate owners and landlords who live outside Sullivan County generally keep a current, Sullivan County–resident designee on file with the Building Department, including that person's name, address, and telephone number. Compliant operators also update their identification sign and Building Department filing within 10 days whenever ownership, the managing agent, or the oil supplier changes. Maintaining accurate and timely filings helps ensure that legal notices and process can be properly received and that the property remains in good standing with local requirements.

Thompson Code ch. 187 § 187-4 gives tenants and local authorities a reliable way to reach a local contact for corporate-owned or out-of-county-owned rental properties. If a tenant cannot identify a Sullivan County–based managing agent or authorized designee, or if ownership or management has changed without a corresponding update to the Building Department, that may indicate a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe this requirement has not been met may consider contacting the Thompson Building Department, consulting a tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether the violation is relevant to any pending matter involving the property.
