Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-15
Notice of sale or transfer
Operative Text
Every person holding a permit issued pursuant to § 160-13 shall give notice in writing to the enforcement officer within 24 hours after having sold, transferred, given away or otherwise disposed of ownership or interest in, or control of, any rooming house. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such rooming house.
Under Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 § 160-15, anyone who holds a rooming house permit and sells, transfers, or otherwise gives up ownership or control of that rooming house must notify the local enforcement officer in writing within 24 hours of the transaction. The written notice must identify the incoming owner or controller by name and address. This rule ensures that the enforcement officer always has current information about who is responsible for a permitted rooming house.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding a permit under § 160-13 are expected to act promptly when any change in ownership or control occurs: a written notice must reach the enforcement officer within 24 hours of the sale, transfer, or other disposition under § 160-15. Compliant operators keep the enforcement officer's contact information readily accessible so that the required notice — including the successor's full name and address — can be delivered without delay. Maintaining a record of when and how the notice was sent is a common practice among operators managing permit transitions.

Section 160-15 of Endicott's rooming house regulations requires that the enforcement officer be notified in writing whenever a rooming house changes hands, which means there is an official record of who holds responsibility for the property at any given time. If a rooming house appears to be operating under new ownership without that notification having been filed, tenants may raise that concern with the local enforcement officer. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Endicott's housing code can help residents understand how permit and ownership records relate to their housing conditions.
