Dear Non-Owner Occupied or Rental Property Owner:

Please be advised that effective May 1, 2010, the Landlord Rental & Property Owner

Registration Ordinance went into effect. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a procedure

and standards for the identification and registration of owners of rental and non-owner occupied

properties to ensure that the City has a meaningful, efficient and effective means of communicating

with those owners. (This chapter was adopted to promote the health and safety of tenants and

alleviate conditions of substandard housing, including slums and blight.)

All owners of non-owner occupied or rental property within the City of Niagara Falls are

required to register and re-register their properties every two years whether the building is

occupied or vacant. The registration is non-transferable and a registration form must be completed

for each parcel owned within 30 days of purchase of the property. The fees are as follows:

Buildings and unoccupied property containing

one or two rental units

$25.00

Buildings and unoccupied property containing

three or more rental units

$40.00

To complete the process, please complete the enclosed application and make your check

or money order payable to the City Controller and mail the completed form and payment to:

City of Niagara Falls, New York

Office of Landlord and Property Owner Registration

30 day grace period, up to a maximum fine of $1,200.00. In addition, as per Section 911 of the
