East Hampton Town

Rental Registry

A law that would establish a rental registry in the Town of East Hampton requiring those who rent out properties to obtain permits and update them regularly, regarding specific details about tenants, will be discussed at a town board work session on Tuesday.

The law has been proposed as a way to assist enforcement against those who violate housing laws by, for example, renting to large groups or consistently renting properties for short periods of time.

The meeting gets under way at Town Hall at 10 a.m.

LTV ‘Village Green’

Elected officials will gather for a “village green” meeting on Friday at LTV Studios on Industrial Road in Wainscott at 6 p.m., to which the public has been invited and which will be broadcast live.

Representative Tim Bishop, East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell, Suffolk Legislator Jay Schneiderman, State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., and Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst will talk about the issues in a forum moderated by Robert Strada, the LTV board president.

Questions for the officials are being solicited in advance at phlive.at, with a password of “LTV.”
