NORWICH – The City of Norwich Common Council will hold what could be its last public hearing on the proposed rental registry at 7 p.m. tonight. Last week, the council received the proposed ordinance to amend the City of Norwich Minimum Standards for Housing, City of Norwich Code Chapter 50.
Copies of the amended document are available at the City Hall Codes Office, the Norwich Fire Department and on the City of Norwich Web site at www.norwichnewyork.net.
While the council has kept many of the same minimum standards in place, they have changed the document to include the rental registration and have made the fees and penalties for non-compliance stricter.
According to the document, all landlords must register their rental units with the city in order to rent their facilities, except in the case of an owner occupied dwelling with no more than one rental unit.
Landlords are required to submit an application for registration within 30 days after the ordinance is effective. The application must include the name, address and telephone number of the owner, and if the owner does not reside within Chenango County, the name, address and telephone number of a local contact or agent who does live in the county will be required as well.
