An applicant must submit a written form to the Code Enforcement Officer that identifies the applicant, the property location, and the number of dwellings, units, and occupants.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 137-3, property owners or managers seeking a rental permit in Amityville generally prepare a complete written application on the official form provided by the Code Enforcement Officer, including accurate counts of units and intended occupants. Compliant operators also attach a properly scaled site survey or sketch and floor plans for each dwelling unit. If someone other than the owner submits the application, that person obtains and includes written authorization from the owner and ensures the application is properly executed and sworn to.

Section 137-3 requires that rental properties in Amityville go through a formal permit application process with the Code Enforcement Officer, which means the premises where you live should have documentation on file showing its layout, unit count, and authorized occupancy. If you have concerns about whether your landlord has obtained the required permit under § 137-3, you may contact the Amityville Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about the permit status of your address.
