Under ch. 265 § 265-3, compliant rental property operators in Elmsford maintain awareness of the expiration month of their rental permit, since that month triggers a required inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer. Operators generally keep their properties in good condition on an ongoing basis so that the biannual inspection preceding permit renewal does not reveal code deficiencies. Tracking the two-year permit cycle and anticipating the inspection window are standard practices for property managers operating under this ordinance.
