Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-7
Prerequisite to issuance of license
Operative Text
No license shall be issued unless the multiple dwelling with respect to which such license is sought complies in all respects with all laws applicable thereto and the licensee is complying with all such laws, including but not limited to the City of Glen Cove Housing Code, the Multiple Residence Law and the City of Glen Cove Zoning Ordinance.
Glen Cove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-7 establishes that a rental license for a multiple dwelling cannot be granted unless both the building itself and the prospective licensee are in full compliance with all applicable laws. This includes, but is not limited to, the City of Glen Cove Housing Code, the Multiple Residence Law, and the City of Glen Cove Zoning Ordinance. The rule functions as a threshold requirement: compliance is a precondition, not something that can be addressed after a license is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 106 § 106-7, operators of multiple dwellings in Glen Cove who seek a rental license generally ensure that their property meets all requirements of the Glen Cove Housing Code, the Multiple Residence Law, and the Zoning Ordinance before submitting a license application. Compliant operators typically conduct pre-application reviews of their buildings to identify and resolve any outstanding code violations. Because the rule requires both the property and the licensee to be in compliance, operators commonly verify their own standing—such as any prior violations tied to them personally—in addition to the physical condition of the building.

Section 106-7 of Glen Cove's Code of Ordinances means that a landlord operating a multiple dwelling is legally required to hold a valid license, and that license can only exist if the building and the landlord were in full legal compliance at the time it was issued. Tenants who believe their building was licensed despite unresolved code violations may have grounds to raise that issue with the appropriate City of Glen Cove enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization. Consulting a tenant-rights resource can help tenants understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a building's licensing status is in question.
