Islandia, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 138-10
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; parking
Operative Text
A. Smoke detectors; carbon monoxide detectors. No rental permit or renewal rental permit shall be issued or renewed until the Code Enforcement Officer shall inspect the rental dwelling to determine that it is equipped with a functioning smoke detector device, approved as to design by the applicable Fire Prevention Code of the state or Suffolk County, if any, or conforming to standards of the New York State Board of Fire Underwriters, if any, or, if none, approved by the Code Enforcement Officer. B. On-site parking. The premises shall provide the necessary minimum on-site parking space for the rental property as determined by the Code Enforcement Officer, and the provided parking space shall be paved with asphalt, concrete or other similar materials.
Section 138-10 of Islandia's Code of Ordinances establishes two conditions that must be met before a rental permit can be issued or renewed. First, the Code Enforcement Officer must inspect the rental dwelling and confirm it has a functioning smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector that meet applicable state, Suffolk County, or New York State Board of Fire Underwriters standards. Second, the rental property must provide a minimum number of on-site parking spaces, and those spaces must be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or a comparable hard material.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 138-10, compliant rental property operators ensure that all required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed, functioning, and meet the applicable fire prevention or underwriting standards before any permit inspection takes place. Operators also confirm that the property's on-site parking meets the minimum count determined by the Code Enforcement Officer and that all parking surfaces are paved with asphalt, concrete, or a similar hard material. Addressing both the detector and parking requirements before the inspection helps avoid delays in permit issuance or renewal.

Section 138-10 gives tenants a basis to know that their rental unit should have been inspected for functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors before a rental permit was issued or renewed. If detectors appear to be absent or non-functioning, or if parking conditions seem inconsistent with what the permit required, tenants can raise these concerns with the Islandia Code Enforcement Officer or a local tenant-rights organization. Keeping a record of detector conditions and parking availability can be useful when communicating with enforcement authorities about potential violations of § 138-10.
