Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 72-8
Review of application
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer shall review each application for completeness and accuracy. The Code Enforcement Officer shall also review all available information to confirm that the rental property and all rental dwelling units thereon are in compliance with the Building and Fire Code of the State of New York or provisions of the Code of the Village of Chester at the time the application is made. The application shall be accepted, and a certificate of registration shall be issued if, based on all such available information, such application is found to be complete and accurate. Notice to the owner of acceptance or rejection of the application shall be made in writing.
Under Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-8, the Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for reviewing every rental registration application to verify that it is complete and accurate and that the property meets applicable state and local building and fire codes at the time of submission. If the application passes that review, a certificate of registration is issued. Regardless of the outcome, the property owner must receive written notice of whether the application was accepted or rejected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 72-8 of Chester's rental registration chapter places the initial compliance burden on the Code Enforcement Officer, but operators who keep their properties in documented compliance with New York State Building and Fire Code and Village of Chester code requirements are best positioned to receive a certificate of registration without delay. Compliant operators typically ensure that all application fields are filled out completely and accurately before submission and maintain records that can support the review process. Written notice of acceptance or rejection will follow the review, so maintaining current contact information with the village is a standard practice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Chester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-8 requires that a rental property meet state and local building and fire code standards as a condition of receiving a certificate of registration. Tenants who believe their unit or building does not meet those standards may find it relevant that compliance is supposed to be confirmed at the time of registration. General enforcement paths can include contacting the Chester Code Enforcement Officer directly, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or raising the registration status as context in any housing-related proceeding.
