Albion, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 85 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 85-4
Permit required for occupancy
Operative Text
No rental unit may be occupied until and unless a rental permit has been issued and is in force. The Code Enforcement Officer shall have the right to apply to a court of appropriate jurisdiction to enjoin the use and occupancy of any rental apartment subject to this chapter for which a rental permit has not been granted.
Under Albion, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 85 § 85-4, no rental unit is permitted to be occupied unless a valid rental permit has been issued and remains active. If a unit is occupied without such a permit, the Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to seek a court order to stop that use and occupancy. This rule applies to all rental apartments covered by Chapter 85, regardless of the circumstances of the tenancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Albion's § 85-4 makes a current, in-force rental permit a prerequisite before any tenant moves into a covered unit. Compliant operators obtain and maintain their rental permits before a unit is made available for occupancy, and they renew or update permits as required to keep them active. Operating without a valid permit exposes a property owner to potential court-ordered injunctions sought by the Code Enforcement Officer.

Section 85-4 of Albion's Code establishes that a rental unit should not legally be occupied without an active rental permit in place, which is a baseline protection tied to code compliance. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit holds a valid permit may inquire with the local Code Enforcement Office, which is the body empowered to act under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how the absence of a required permit may be relevant to their housing situation.
