Walton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 185 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 185-2
Identification
Operative Text
The owner of any rental property located within the Village, whether a one- or two-family residence or a multiple dwelling, shall post and maintain in a conspicuous place in such dwelling a legible notice identifying the owner and managing agent of such dwelling, together with the residence and business addresses and telephone numbers of the owner and managing agent. Where the owner is a corporation, the sign shall contain the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the officers thereof, together with the residence and business addresses and telephone numbers of the officers and of the corporation as well as the information regarding the managing agent.
Section 185-2 of Walton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 185 requires that every rental property in the Village — from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings — display a clearly readable notice in a prominent location. That notice must identify the owner and managing agent, including their addresses and phone numbers. When the owner is a corporation, the notice must also list the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the corporate officers in addition to the corporation's own contact information.
