Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-6
Application and renewal
Operative Text
A. A renewal application for a rental occupancy permit for a rental dwelling unit shall be made in writing by the owner of the property to the Building Department on a form provided therefor on or 90 days prior to the expiration date of any valid rental permit. A renewal rental permit shall contain a copy of the prior rental permit application. Such renewal application shall contain a signed statement setting forth the following: (1) That there are no existing or outstanding violations of any state, county, or local law, rule or regulation pertaining to the property. A determination that an existing or outstanding violation of any state, county, or local law, rule or regulation exists at the property shall result in an automatic rejection of said application until the existing matter has been corrected and/or adjudicated. (2) That there are no changes to any information as provided on the prior valid rental permit application. B. Prior to the issuance of a renewal rental permit, the applicant must pay a registration fee as described in § 127-7 of this chapter and arrange for an inspection of the rental dwelling and the premises in which it is located by a Code Enforcement Officer employed by the Village that the structure and the dwelling units contained therein meet all applicable state and local laws codes and regulations. If access to the rental dwelling is refused or cannot be obtained, the Village shall have the right to revoke or deny the rental property permit. If there are code violations or violations of this chapter, the Village shall not issue the rental permit, and shall issue orders to remedy or appearance tickets for all such violations. C. In the event of the issuance of appearance tickets, a rental permit shall not be issued to the owner until there has been a final disposition of the violations which are the basis for the appearance ticket or tickets before the Village Court and the conditions remedied or a determination made by the Court that no violation had been committed. D. If a property owner knowingly rents a rental dwelling that is found to be without one or more of the following: running water, heat or heat source, electricity, sanitary facilities, windows in sleeping spaces, cooking facilities, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors or there is the presence of black mold in the rental dwelling, the rental dwelling may not be rented until the condition is remedied and a reinspection indicating that the problem or problems have been resolved has been completed. If there are current tenants, they must be vacated in accordance with New York State Law. E. The Village shall not accept, review or approve any renewal rental applications for rental dwellings wherein the prior rental permit expiration date has passed. If the expiration date has passed, the application will be considered a new application, not a renewal application, and the owner must file a new application.
Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-6 establishes the process by which rental occupancy permits are renewed in the Village of Lake Grove. Owners must submit a written renewal application to the Building Department no later than 90 days before their current permit expires, certifying that no outstanding code violations exist and that no information from the prior application has changed. Before a renewal permit is issued, a Village Code Enforcement Officer must inspect the property, a registration fee must be paid, and any violations discovered must be resolved; if the permit lapses past its expiration date, the owner must start over with a brand-new application rather than a renewal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-6 generally submit their renewal application to the Building Department well before the 90-day pre-expiration deadline to allow time for scheduling the required Code Enforcement Officer inspection and resolving any violations that may surface. A compliant operator ensures the signed statement accompanying the renewal accurately certifies no outstanding state, county, or local violations and that all prior application information remains unchanged. Operators also take care not to allow the permit expiration date to pass, since § 127-6(E) treats a late submission as a new application rather than a renewal, which can affect continuity of lawful rental operations.

Under Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-6, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their rental unit holds a valid, current rental occupancy permit, since the Village is prohibited from issuing a permit when code violations exist and may require existing tenants to vacate if serious habitability deficiencies—such as lack of heat, running water, or the presence of black mold—are found. Tenants who believe their unit may lack a valid permit or has unresolved violations can contact the Village Building Department to inquire about the permit status of their dwelling. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord's compliance with § 127-6 is in question.
