Islandia, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 138-7
Review of application
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer of the Village of Islandia shall review each application for completeness and accuracy and shall make an on-site inspection of the proposed rental dwelling. If satisfied that the proposed rental dwelling, as well as the premises in or on which the same is located, complies fully with all applicable laws of the state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the county and the Village and that such rental dwelling or the use thereof for rental would not create an unsafe or dangerous condition, or create an unsafe or substandard structure or create a nuisance to adjoining or nearby property, the Code Enforcement Officer shall then issue the rental permit or renewal rental permit applied for.
Under Islandia, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 § 138-7, the Village's Code Enforcement Officer is responsible for reviewing every rental permit application to confirm it is complete and accurate, and for conducting an on-site inspection of the proposed rental dwelling. A permit is issued only when the officer determines that the property fully complies with all applicable state, county, and Village laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. The dwelling must also be free of unsafe or dangerous conditions, substandard structural issues, and nuisances to neighboring properties before a permit or renewal permit can be granted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 138-7, a compliant rental property operator in Islandia ensures that each permit application is thorough and accurate before submission, since the Code Enforcement Officer reviews both the paperwork and the physical property. Operators generally keep their rental dwellings in full compliance with state, county, and Village codes so that the required on-site inspection can proceed without issue. Maintaining the property free of hazardous conditions, structural deficiencies, and nuisances to neighboring properties is central to satisfying the standards the Code Enforcement Officer applies before issuing or renewing a rental permit.

Section 138-7 establishes that a rental dwelling in Islandia must pass a Code Enforcement Officer review and on-site inspection before a rental permit is issued, meaning tenants have a basis to expect that a lawfully permitted unit meets applicable safety and habitability standards. If a tenant believes a unit is unsafe, substandard, or creating a nuisance, the existence of this provision may be relevant to raising concerns with the Village's Code Enforcement Office. Tenants may also wish to consult a tenant-rights organization to understand how permit requirements under § 138-7 relate to any broader rights or remedies available to them.
