[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Cedarhurst 4-19-1993 as L.L. No. 7-1993. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
GENERAL REFERENCES
Zoning — See Ch. 265.
The Board of Trustees hereby finds and determines that the public health,
safety and general welfare dictate and require that the village enact provisions
for the registration of residential properties within the village which are
not owner-occupied. Unregulated rental activity by absentee owners tends to
foster neglect and disrepair of properties and presents dangers to the inhabitants
and/or to other residents of the village and results in a reduction in the
quality of maintenance of such properties, as well as a negative impact upon
the health, safety and welfare of the public and property values. The Board
further finds that in times of emergency, it is important to have the necessary
information on file with the village as to contact persons authorized on behalf
of such absentee owners to deal with any such emergency condition, as well
as owners and occupants.
The owners of all properties, wherein such owner shall not actually
reside shall be required to register in accordance with this chapter, with
the Clerk-Treasurer of the village.
A registration form shall be supplied by the Village Clerk-Treasurer
which shall contain the names, addresses and both a daytime and evening telephone
number for each owner, as well as the names, and both daytime and evening
telephone number for each occupant and managing agent. A new registration
shall be filed by the owner with each change of occupancy, whether such occupancy
shall be by written lease, oral lease or month-to-month basis.
The owner, any managing agent and each tenant or occupant shall be liable
for any violation of this chapter and/or failure to register.
