Ithaca (Town), N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 207 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 207-3
Rental property information
Operative Text
Before issuing an operating permit, the Code Enforcement Department shall secure, as part of the permit application, information related to the rental property as provided by Town of Ithaca Code Chapter 125 (Building Construction and Fire Prevention), § 125-8B .
Chapter 207, Section 207-3 of the Town of Ithaca Code establishes that the Code Enforcement Department must collect specific rental property information from applicants before an operating permit can be issued. This information requirement is tied directly to the standards set out in Chapter 125, Section 125-8B, which governs building construction and fire prevention. The provision ensures that a baseline set of property details is on file with the town before any rental unit is authorized to operate.

Section 207-3 means that any rental unit in the Town of Ithaca should have an operating permit on file with the Code Enforcement Department, and that permit was only issued after the landlord provided required property information under Chapter 125, § 125-8B. Tenants who are uncertain whether their unit has a valid operating permit can inquire directly with the Town of Ithaca Code Enforcement Department to check permit status.
