Operative Text
A. Scope. This chapter shall apply to all rental properties located within the incorporated Village, whether or not the use and occupancy thereof shall be permitted under the applicable use regulations for the zoning district in which such rental property is located. B. Applicability. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to supplement applicable state and local laws, ordinances, codes and regulations; and nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to abolish, impair, supersede or replace existing remedies of the Village, Town, county or state or existing requirements of any other applicable state or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations. In case of conflict between any provision of this chapter and any applicable state or local law, ordinance, code or regulation, the more restrictive or stringent provision or requirement shall prevail. The issuance of any permit or the filing of any form under this chapter does not make legal any action or statement of facts that is otherwise illegal under any other applicable legislation. For the purposes of the issuance of appearance tickets pursuant to the New York State Criminal Procedure Law and Code of the Village of Belle Terre, Appearance Tickets, a violation of this chapter shall be deemed a violation of a Building Code. C. The name of the tenant, date of birth of the owner(s), and the telephone number of the owner(s) information provided in an application for a rental permit under this chapter shall be deemed personal and private in nature, and the release or disclosure of said information pursuant to public request shall be deemed to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under New York State Public Officers Law, Article 6, §§ 84 through 90, and shall not be authorized.
Belle Terre, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 123 § 123-2 establishes that the village's rental property regulations apply to all rental properties within the incorporated Village, regardless of whether the property's use is permitted under local zoning rules. The chapter works alongside—rather than replacing—existing state and local laws, and the more restrictive standard always controls when conflicts arise. Certain personal details submitted in a rental permit application, including the tenant's name and the owner's date of birth and phone number, are treated as private and are shielded from public disclosure under New York State's Freedom of Information framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Belle Terre, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 123 § 123-2, operators of rental properties in the Village generally ensure that compliance with this chapter does not substitute for compliance with any other applicable state or local requirement—both sets of obligations run concurrently. When a conflict exists between this chapter and another law or regulation, the more restrictive standard is the one that governs day-to-day operations. Landlords who submit rental permit applications should be aware that certain personal information they provide—such as their date of birth and telephone number—is treated as private and is not subject to routine public disclosure.

Tenants should know that personal information they provide in a rental permit application—specifically their name—is classified as private and cannot be released in response to a public records request. If a violation of this chapter is alleged, it is treated as a Building Code violation for purposes of New York State Criminal Procedure Law, which may affect how enforcement proceedings are initiated; tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain what that means in practice.
