In early April, as part of its ongoing effort to keep the public informed and enhance communication, the East Hampton Town Board set out a letter and two brochures — one outlining the requirements of its new rental registry, the other offering basic safety and code enforcement information — to all property owners in the town.
More than 500 residents attended rental registry workshops at Town Hall and mini-workshops before various citizens advisory committees, and another 100 residents attended a bilingual workshop hosted by the town’s Latino Advisory Committee. To date, more than 1,000 rental registry applications have been submitted, according to a press release from Supervisor Larry Cantwell.
“Public safety and quality of life are key responsibilities of the Town of East Hampton. In the interest of providing you with important information concerning some of the local and state laws designed to protect homeowners, tenants, and residential neighborhoods, we are enclosing, for your reference, two brochures,” the letter, which is signed by all town board members, states.
“The town has adopted a rental registry law, and we want you to be fully informed of its requirements if you are considering renting your property,” the letter continues. “The second enclosure is designed to provide information on the town code, so that all of our residents are better informed about existing local laws, the purpose of which is to protect the safety and peaceful enjoyment of residential neighborhoods.”
The information is also available at the town website, www.ehamptonny.gov.
