Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 § 173-6
Non-owner-occupied permit required
Operative Text
A. Non-owner-occupied permit. A non-owner-occupied property shall not be occupied by any tenant without a valid non-owner-occupied permit issued by the Building Department. B. The Building Department of the City of Beacon shall issue such permit after approval of a valid landlord registration statement, which shall be approved or denied within three business days of its submission. Such non-owner-occupied permit shall be valid until such time as the owner or any new owner is required to file a new landlord registration statement.
Section 173-6 of Beacon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 173 establishes that any residential property not occupied by its owner must hold a valid non-owner-occupied permit before a tenant may lawfully live there. The permit is issued by the City of Beacon Building Department once a landlord registration statement has been reviewed and approved, a process the department must complete within three business days of submission. The permit remains in effect until a new registration statement is required, such as when ownership of the property changes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 173-6, operators of non-owner-occupied rental properties in Beacon are expected to obtain a valid non-owner-occupied permit from the Building Department before placing any tenant in the unit. Compliant operators typically ensure that a landlord registration statement is on file and approved, and they track ownership changes that would trigger the need to file a new statement and renew the permit. Keeping permit documentation current and accessible is a standard practice for operators managing properties subject to this chapter.

Section 173-6 establishes that a tenant's occupancy of a non-owner-occupied property is contingent on the landlord holding a valid permit issued by the Beacon Building Department. If a tenant has reason to believe no such permit exists for their unit, they may contact the City of Beacon Building Department to inquire about the property's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Beacon's local ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord's compliance with ch. 173 is in question.
