§ 1-09.4 Owner's Authorization.

RCNY § 1-09.4

Every owner of record on a zoning lot which is the subject of an application must execute and submit the Board's Affidavit of Ownership and Authorization form. The form may be completed by the owner or any other entity or person legally authorized to act for such owner. If the applicant is not the owner, the applicant must submit the Affidavit of Ownership and Authorization form signed by the owner(s) of record authorizing the applicant to file the application. However, an applicant appealing a final agency determination who is not the owner of the subject property is not required to submit an Affidavit of Ownership and Authorization form.
