Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 107-15
Transfer of permit prohibited
Operative Text
A permit issued hereunder shall not be transferred or be transferable to a successor record owner. The then-current record owner shall provide written notice to the Building Inspector upon transfer of title to the premises within 48 hours of any such event. The successor record owner shall, not later than 10 days after the date of transfer of title to the premises, apply for such permit or permits hereunder as may then be required for such premises.
Section 107-15 of the Brightwaters Code of Ordinances establishes that rental operating permits are tied to a specific property owner and cannot be passed along when a property changes hands. When a title transfer occurs, the outgoing owner must notify the Building Inspector in writing within 48 hours. The new owner then has 10 days from the date of transfer to apply for any permits required for that property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-15, a compliant property owner selling or otherwise transferring title ensures that written notice reaches the Brightwaters Building Inspector within 48 hours of the transfer event. Operators acquiring a rental property understand that any existing permit held by the prior owner has no legal effect for them, and they submit a fresh permit application within the 10-day window set by this section. Keeping dated records of the title transfer and copies of the notice and application helps document timely compliance.

Section 107-15 of the Brightwaters Code means that when a rental property is sold, the new owner is required to obtain their own permit rather than relying on the prior owner's authorization. If a tenant has reason to believe a new owner is operating without a current permit following a title transfer, that potential violation of § 107-15 may be relevant to raise with the Brightwaters Building Inspector. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available in such a situation.
