Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 25 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 25-7
Renewal of rental license
Operative Text
A. The Building Inspector shall design and approve a renewal rental application form. A renewal rental application signed by the owner shall be completed and filed with the Building Department on or 90 days prior to the expiration date of any valid rental license. A renewal rental application shall contain a copy of the prior rental license. B. A renewal rental application shall contain a signed sworn statement of the owner setting forth the following: (1) That there are no existing or outstanding violations of any federal, state or county laws or rules or regulations or of any Village of Bellport local laws or ordinances pertaining to the premises; and (2) That there are no changes to any information as provided on the prior valid rental application and rental license. C. Prior to the issuance of a renewal rental license, the owner or the owner's managing agent shall cause an inspection of the unit(s) and the premises on which the same are located to take place pursuant to § 25-5A above. D. The Building Department shall not accept, review or approve any renewal rental application for dwelling unit(s) wherein the prior rental license expiration date has passed. If the expiration date has passed, the owner or owner's managing agent must file a new rental application.
Section 25-7 of the Bellport Code of Ordinances establishes the process for renewing a rental license before it expires. Owners must submit a signed, sworn renewal application — including a copy of the prior license — to the Building Department no later than 90 days before the current license expires. The renewal application must affirm that no outstanding code violations exist and that no information from the prior application has changed, and an inspection of the rental unit must occur before a new license is issued. If the prior license has already expired, the Building Department will not process a renewal at all; a brand-new application is required instead.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 25-7, compliant rental property operators in Bellport track their license expiration dates carefully and submit a completed renewal application to the Building Department at least 90 days in advance. The renewal package includes the prior rental license, a signed sworn statement confirming no outstanding violations and no changes to previously filed information, and arrangements for a pre-issuance inspection under § 25-5A. Operators who allow a license to lapse lose the ability to renew and must restart the full application process from scratch.

Section 25-7 requires Bellport landlords to maintain a current, continuously renewed rental license — meaning a lapsed license signals a potential compliance gap that tenants may find relevant. Tenants who believe their unit is being rented without a valid license, or that a landlord filed a sworn statement falsely claiming no outstanding violations, can contact the Bellport Building Department to inquire about the license status of their dwelling. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Village of Bellport ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be operating outside the requirements of § 25-7.
