[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Floral Park 5-18-2010 by L.L. No. 5-2010. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
A.
Every owner of a business, multiple dwelling or non-owner-occupied
dwelling, managing agent or other person or entity acting on behalf
of said owner shall be required to complete and file a registration
form with the Building Department, in such form as is to be supplied
by the Superintendent thereof, which form shall include, but not necessarily
be limited to, the following information:
(1)
The name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail
address, both daytime and evening, where such owner resides or may
be contacted;
(2)
The name, address, telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail
address, both daytime and evening, of a person or entity designated
therein as a duly authorized agent for said owner, located within
the physical area of the County of Nassau (or, if in Queens County,
within five miles from the particular location); and
(3)
Such other, further and/or additional information as may be required
by the Superintendent of the Building Department.
B.
A new and/or revised registration form shall be filed with the Building
Department within 30 days after the date of execution of any deed
or other instrument, upon each and every sale, transfer, assignment
or any other change of ownership and/or any change or replacement
of such resident agent.
C.
Any person or entity who or which shall fail to file or refile the initial registration form or amendment thereof shall be subject to a fine or civil penalty not exceeding $100 or such other amount as may, from time to time, be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees. In addition, any person or entity violating the provisions of this section shall be a disorderly person, subject to additional penalties and/or punishment as set forth in § 32-14 of this Code.
D.
The initial filing of the registration form shall be made on or before
September 1, 2010.
The designated agent shall accept service of process on behalf
of the property owner. The property owner and designated agent shall
both be liable for violations of the Code of the Incorporated Village
of Floral Park, and the designated agent may bring an enforcement
action against either the property owner or both. If the property
owner fails to designate an agent or if the designated agent does
not accept service of process or denies agency, then the Village Clerk
shall be deemed to be the owner's agent for the limited purpose
of accepting service of process on the owner's behalf, and service
shall be deemed complete upon mailing by first-class mail to the address
of the property in the name of the property owner.
