Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 199-8
Restrictions on sale or lease of premises; permits not transferable
Operative Text
No owner or lessee of any premises subject to the provisions of this chapter shall sell, transfer, mortgage, lease, sublease or otherwise dispose of the premises until they conform to the provisions of this chapter or until compliance has been had with any pending notice of violation served pursuant to the provisions hereof or until any proceeding or action at law arising from the violation or alleged violation of the provisions of this chapter shall have been finally determined. Any permit required by this chapter is issued exclusively to the party applying therefor, and no permit is transferable to another party, and any permit attempted to be transferred is subject to revocation.
Under Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 § 199-8, a property owner or lessee cannot sell, transfer, mortgage, lease, sublease, or otherwise dispose of a property that is subject to this chapter while any outstanding violation notice or related legal proceeding remains unresolved. The transaction can only proceed once the property is brought into full compliance or any pending enforcement action has been finally decided. Additionally, any permit issued under this chapter belongs solely to the applicant and cannot be passed along to another party; an attempted transfer renders the permit subject to revocation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under ch. 199 § 199-8 generally ensure that all outstanding notices of violation are resolved and any related legal proceedings are fully concluded before completing a sale, mortgage, lease, or other disposition of a covered property. Compliant operators also treat permits issued under this chapter as non-transferable, meaning a new owner, lessee, or operator would need to apply for their own permit rather than rely on one previously issued to another party. Keeping thorough records of compliance status and permit ownership helps operators avoid transactions that could be challenged or permits that could be revoked.

Under § 199-8 of Babylon Village's ch. 199, tenants should be aware that a landlord is generally prohibited from leasing or subleasing a property that has unresolved violation notices or pending legal proceedings under this chapter. If a tenant believes a lease was executed in violation of this restriction, that fact may be relevant to any complaint or proceeding before the appropriate local enforcement authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Babylon Village ordinances can help explain what options may be available when a property's compliance status is in question.
