Irondequoit, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 177 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 177-9
Term of certificate of registration
Operative Text
A certificate of registration pursuant to this chapter shall be valid for as long as the information in the application remains complete and accurate, but in no case for more than a period of two years from the date on which the certificate is issued. The owner shall file with the Department a new application in accordance with the requirements of this chapter a) no less than 60 days prior to 1) the expiration of the then current certificate or 2) if sooner, the date set forth in any contract of sale for the closing of transfer of title to the rental dwelling unit or rental property; or b) except for any change in the information provided in the application pursuant to § 177-5A(3) , in the event that the prior application is no longer complete or accurate, within 30 days following the occurrence of the event or change in circumstances requiring the updating of such information. In the event a new application is not filed if and when required pursuant to Item a)2) or b) of this § 177-9 , the existing certificate of registration shall be null and void.
Under Irondequoit Code § 177-9, a rental property's certificate of registration remains valid only as long as the information on file stays complete and accurate, and in any event expires no later than two years after it was issued. Owners must submit a renewal application at least 60 days before the certificate expires or before a scheduled property sale closing, whichever comes first. If the application information becomes outdated for reasons other than a change in the contact details covered by § 177-5A(3), a new application must be filed within 30 days of that change — and failure to do so when required voids the existing certificate automatically.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental property in Irondequoit should maintain a calendar reminder to submit a renewal application to the Department at least 60 days before their § 177-9 certificate's two-year expiration date. When a sale of the rental property is pending, the renewal timeline shifts: a new application must be filed no fewer than 60 days before the contract's closing date if that date falls before the certificate would otherwise expire. Any change in circumstances that makes the existing application inaccurate — outside of the contact-information exception in § 177-5A(3) — triggers a 30-day window to file an updated application, since missing that deadline renders the current certificate null and void.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants in Irondequoit can look to § 177-9 to understand that their landlord is required to hold a current, valid certificate of registration for the rental property. If a certificate has lapsed — because it was not renewed within the two-year limit, because a property sale closed without a timely new application, or because outdated information was not corrected within 30 days — the certificate is automatically void. Tenants who believe their landlord may be operating without a valid certificate can contact the Irondequoit Department responsible for rental registration, consult a local tenant-rights organization, or raise the issue through available municipal complaint channels.
