Amityville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 137-6
Permit fees; late charge for overdue permit renewals
Operative Text
A. Permit fees shall be set by resolution of the Board of Trustees from time to time for the following classes: (1) Class I: one- or two-family homes, units providing two or three rooming or boarding units. (2) Class II: units for three families or more; units containing four or more rooming or boarding units; hotels and all others. B. A late charge equal to two times the amount of the applicable permit fee, prorated for the period of time constituting the overdue period, shall be paid for the renewal of any expired rental permit required by this article. Said late charge shall be in addition to the basic permit fee.
Section 137-6 of Amityville's Code of Ordinances establishes a two-tier fee structure for rental permits, with Class I covering smaller residential properties and Class II covering larger multi-family buildings, hotels, and similar uses. The Board of Trustees sets the actual fee amounts by resolution and may update them periodically. When a rental permit expires and is renewed late, the property owner owes not only the standard permit fee but also an additional late charge equal to twice the applicable fee, prorated to reflect the length of the overdue period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 137-6, compliant rental property operators in Amityville keep track of their permit class — Class I for one- or two-family homes and small rooming units, Class II for larger multi-family buildings and hotels — and renew their permits before expiration to avoid the late charge. If a renewal lapses, the operator owes the base permit fee plus a prorated late charge equal to double that fee for the overdue period, which can meaningfully increase the total cost. Staying current with the Board of Trustees' current fee schedule, which is set by resolution, helps operators anticipate renewal costs accurately.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 137-6 requires landlords in Amityville to hold valid rental permits and pay associated fees on time; an expired or lapsed permit may be relevant to a tenant's understanding of whether a rental unit is being operated in compliance with local law. Tenants who have questions about whether their building holds a current permit under ch. 137 can inquire with the Village of Amityville or its relevant municipal office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what permit compliance may mean for their housing situation and what avenues exist if a landlord appears to be operating without a valid permit.
