Hempstead Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-5 establishes the fees associated with obtaining a rental occupancy permit. A flat $50 nonrefundable fee applies per dwelling unit for the permit application, though units beyond the first ten in a single application are charged at a reduced rate of $20 each. An optional inspection carries an additional $150 fee per dwelling unit, and applicants who are 62 or older and renting a single unit within their primary residence qualify for a 50% reduction on all applicable fees.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 106 § 106-5, compliant operators budget for the $50-per-unit application fee before submitting a rental occupancy permit application, since the fee is nonrefundable and due at filing. Owners of larger properties with more than ten units apply the reduced $20 rate only to units exceeding that threshold. Operators who are 62 or older and renting a single unit in their own primary residence should note the half-price fee provision when preparing their application materials.
