Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 181 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 181-3
Intent to require renewal
Operative Text
It is the express intent of this chapter to require owners of property containing RRAU to have a certificate of rental safety which shall be renewed every 12 months.
Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 181 § 181-3 establishes that property owners who have rental residential apartment units (RRAU) must hold a certificate of rental safety. This certificate is not a one-time requirement — it must be renewed on an annual basis, every 12 months. The provision sets out the foundational intent of the chapter, signaling that ongoing compliance, rather than a single initial certification, is the governing standard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 181 § 181-3 of the Ellenville Code of Ordinances, operators of properties containing RRAU are expected to maintain a current certificate of rental safety at all times. Compliant property managers typically track their certificate's expiration date and initiate the renewal process well before the 12-month cycle ends. Allowing a certificate to lapse could place a property out of compliance with the express requirements of this chapter.

Section 181-3 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis for understanding that their landlord is required to hold and regularly renew a certificate of rental safety for any property containing RRAU. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord is operating without a current certificate, general enforcement paths may include contacting the relevant local code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Ellenville municipal requirements. Tenants may also be able to raise the absence of a valid certificate as a relevant factor in certain housing proceedings.
