Kings Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-4
Rental occupancy permit required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful for the owner, owner's agent, real estate agent, or any other person with actual or apparent authority over any dwelling unit to allow, permit, suffer, or tolerate the rental of such dwelling unit without having first obtained a rental occupancy permit pursuant to this chapter.
Section 122-4 of Kings Point's Code of Ordinances establishes that renting out a dwelling unit is prohibited unless the person responsible for that unit has first secured a rental occupancy permit under Chapter 122. The rule applies broadly to owners, their agents, real estate agents, and anyone else exercising authority over the unit. No rental arrangement—regardless of its form—is lawful without this permit in place beforehand.

Under Kings Point Code § 122-4, compliant operators obtain a valid rental occupancy permit before placing any dwelling unit into rental service. This means the permitting process is completed prior to executing a lease, collecting rent, or allowing a tenant to take occupancy. Operators who manage units through agents or real estate professionals should confirm that permit obligations are clearly assigned and fulfilled, since the ordinance extends liability to anyone with actual or apparent authority over the unit.

Section 122-4 of Kings Point's Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to inquire whether their dwelling unit is covered by a valid rental occupancy permit, since renting without one is expressly unlawful. If a unit lacks the required permit, that fact may be relevant to housing complaints or other proceedings before local authorities. Tenants who have questions about permit status or their rights under Chapter 122 may wish to contact the Kings Point village offices or consult a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
