Syracuse University Rental Rules/Registry

[Anthony Siconolfi]

Hello, my partners and I are purchasing a property in Syracuse, NY. The property is a 6-bedroom house with a separate ADU with 1 additional bedroom. The current landlord does not have the property on the rental registry.

1. What zoning district are students allowed in?

2. What land uses would classify as a student rental?

3. Are students allowed to live in the R1 zone district?

4. Can you confirm the number of students allowed in one unit?

5. Can you advise how strictly these rules are enforced? What are the penalties?

We have noticed that no landlords comply with any of the student rental rules and regulations in Syracuse, NY but do not want to put ourselves in a situation in the future. Are there any Syracuse landlords in here that can advise?
