A LOCAL LAW REQUIRING CONDOMINIUM
MANAGEMENT AGENTS TO REGISTER WITII
THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER
Section 1. Legislative Intent.
Whereas many of the multiple family dwellings in the Town of Wappinger
have been converted into condominium complexes, wherein each dwelling unit
is individually owned by a separate owner, and whereas the common areas
are managed by a Board of Managers who normally contract out with Management
Agents to control and maintain the common areas, it has been determined
by the Town Board that it has become increasingly difficult to obtain compliance
with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in the
common areas when violations occur, because of the problem of communicating
with the appropriate parties responsible for the maintenance and repair of
the common areas. With this concern in mind, the Town Board deems it to
be necessary in the interests of the public health, welfare and safety of the
residents of the Town of Wappinger that certain registration requirements
be imposed upon the Board of Managers of all condominiums located in the
Town of Wappinger.
Section 2. Registration Required.
Any building, or groups of buildings which are classified as "multiple
dwellings" as described in the New York State Fire Prevention Building Code,
and where each individual dwelling unit is individually owned by a form of
condominium ownership, the Board of Managers of the common area of said
complexes shall be required to register in accordance with this Local Law
and to renew their registration on an annual basis.
Section 3. Registration Requirement
The Board of Managers of all condominiums in the Town of Wappinger
shall register with the Town of Wappinger Town Clerk and said registration
shall contain the following information to be filed with the Town Clerk and
the Town Building Inspector and Fire Inspector:
1. The name of the Owners' Association responsible for the repair
7
and maintenance of common areas of buildings and grounds.
2. The name, address and telephone number of the chief officer &. second member of
the Owners' Association,.
3. The name, address and telephone number of any party responsible
for the maintenance or repair of said common areas for the name, address
and telephone number of the person designated by the Condominium Association
to be responsible for communication with said Association. It shall be the
obligation of all of the Board of Managers of all Condominiums in the Town
of Wappingewr to file the above information with the Town Clerk, Town Building
Inspector and Town Fire Inspector within 30 days of the effective date of this
Local Law, and within 7 days of any change in said information, and annually
in the month of March of every year following the effective date of this Local
Law.
.� Section 3.
In the event of any safety violations occurring within the Condominium
buildings or complex, the Town of Wappinger Code Enforcement officials shall
and may communicate and/or direct orders to remedy any violations existed
to the person named on the registration form herein. Upon delivery of such
notice to the above mentioned persons it shall be deemed that the condominium
asosciation has been formally served with the notice, and said notice shall
be binding upon the Condominium Association.
Section 4. Fines
Any Condominium Association which fails to register as required herein
shall be guilty of a violation and may be fined a sum not to exceed the sum
of $250.00 per violation. Each week that the alleged failure to register shall
be found to have occurred, shall be deemd a separate and distinct offense.
Section 5. Effective date
