Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-8
Issuance, denial or revocation of rental unit registration certificate
Operative Text
In connection with a rental unit registration certificate, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson shall (1) investigate and confirm that all real property taxes are current and up to date, and (2) schedule and conduct an inspection of the premises upon which the rental unit is or will be located to confirm compliance with the housing code. A. Following completion of an inspection which confirms compliance with the housing code, and upon confirmation that all real estate taxes are up to date, the Village shall issue the short-term rental unit certificate or the rental unit certificate as may be applicable. B. If the real estate taxes are not current and up to date, the Village will grant a grace period of not more than 30 days during which the owner must provide proof of payment in full. In the event the proof of payment is not received within the 30-day period, the rental unit certificate shall be denied or revoked as may be applicable. C. Following completion of an inspection that identifies noncompliance with the housing code or the investigation reveals open property taxes, the Village shall issue a notice of violation in accordance with this article for the correction of any violations of the housing code. Upon re-inspection, if the Village finds noncompliance with the notice of violation, the rental unit certificate shall be denied or revoked as may be applicable in accordance with the procedure set forth in this article.
Section 186-8 of the Croton-on-Hudson Code establishes the process by which the Village issues, denies, or revokes rental unit registration certificates. Before a certificate is granted, the Village must verify that property taxes are current and conduct a housing code inspection of the premises. If taxes are delinquent, a 30-day grace period is allowed for proof of payment; if housing code violations are found, a notice of violation is issued, and continued noncompliance after re-inspection can result in denial or revocation of the certificate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 186-8, compliant rental property operators in Croton-on-Hudson generally ensure that all real property taxes are paid and current before applying for or renewing a rental unit registration certificate. They also maintain their premises in conformance with the housing code so that scheduled Village inspections result in a passing outcome. Operators who receive a notice of violation typically address the cited deficiencies promptly, since unresolved violations after re-inspection can lead to denial or revocation of the certificate.
