Review of application; issuance of permit
Operative Text
A. The Island Park Village Clerk or her designee shall review each rental permit application or rental renewal application for completeness and accuracy and, prior to issuing any permit or renewal permit, shall, at the election of the property owner, and with the consent of any occupant if there is one if the Subsection A(1) method listed below is elected, have one of the two following actions taken: (1) Have a code enforcement official make an on-site inspection of the proposed rental dwelling unit or units as long as the owner agrees, and if there is an occupant, as long as the occupant agrees; or (2) Have the owner submit complete digital photographs on a CD-Rom or DVD of the complete building and the complete outside area of the property taken within the prior five days along with a detailed description of each photograph explaining what each photograph shows and: (a) The owner shall also submit an affidavit stating that the digital photographs and the description are true and accurate and represent the complete current condition of the premises during the prior five days; and (b) The owner shall also meet with the code enforcement official at the Island Park Village Hall or at a mutually agreeable place to discuss each photograph, the description of the property and the condition of the buildings and property to see if the property qualifies to obtain a permit. B. If satisfied that the proposed rental dwelling unit or units, as well as the property on which the same are located, comply fully with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, codes and regulations of the county, state, Village and any other applicable governmental authority and that such rental dwelling unit or units would not create an unsafe or dangerous condition or create an unsafe and substandard structure as defined in either the Village of Island Park's, the County of Nassau's, the State of New York's or any other applicable governmental authorities' laws, rules, codes, regulations, and ordinances, or create a nuisance to nearby properties, then the Island Park Village Clerk or her designee shall issue the rental occupancy permit or permits.
Section 450-7 of Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 establishes the process by which the Village Clerk reviews rental permit and renewal applications before any permit is issued. The property owner may choose between two compliance pathways: either an on-site inspection by a code enforcement official (requiring occupant consent if the unit is occupied) or submission of recent digital photographs accompanied by an affidavit and an in-person meeting with a code enforcement official. A permit is issued only after the Clerk is satisfied that the unit and property fully comply with all applicable laws and do not pose unsafe, substandard, or nuisance conditions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 450-7, property owners in Island Park must select one of two review methods when applying for or renewing a rental permit: consenting to an on-site inspection or providing digital photographs taken within the prior five days on a CD-ROM or DVD, along with a detailed affidavit and a meeting with a code enforcement official at Village Hall or another agreed location. Compliant operators ensure that any occupant is informed and has consented before the inspection option is chosen, and that photographic submissions are thorough, accurate, and accompanied by the required affidavit. Maintaining the property in full compliance with county, state, and Village codes before the review is the standard practice that supports permit issuance under this section.

Section 450-7 provides tenants with a meaningful role in the rental permit process: if the property owner elects the on-site inspection pathway, the inspection may only proceed with the occupant's consent. Tenants should be aware that a permit under this section is only issued when the Village Clerk is satisfied that the unit is safe, not substandard, and does not create a nuisance — standards that reflect baseline habitability expectations. Tenants who have concerns about the condition of their unit or the permit process may consider contacting the Island Park Village Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
