Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-10
Confidentiality of rental registration, rental agreement and tenant identification form
Operative Text
Under Public Officers Law § 872(b) , rental registration forms, rental agreements, tenant identification forms and that portion of the rental occupancy permit application required under § 83-4 shall be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law, on the grounds that such disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The Code Enforcement Officer will institute strict policies to ensure that such information is available only to Village personnel who are engaged in the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter.
Under Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-10, rental registration forms, rental agreements, tenant identification forms, and the relevant portions of rental occupancy permit applications are shielded from public disclosure under New York's Freedom of Information Law. The exemption is grounded in the protection of personal privacy, meaning these documents cannot be obtained by members of the public through a standard FOIL request. Access to this information is restricted to Village personnel who are actively involved in enforcing the provisions of Chapter 83.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 83-10, the personal information landlords submit as part of rental registration and occupancy permit applications is treated as confidential by the Village. Compliant operators can generally expect that tenant identification forms and rental agreements they provide to the Village will not be released to outside parties. Property managers should be aware that this confidentiality framework is administered by the Code Enforcement Officer, who is responsible for maintaining strict internal access controls.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 83-10 of the Lake Success Code provides tenants with meaningful privacy protections by exempting their identification and rental information from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law. This means that personal details submitted to the Village in connection with rental registrations or occupancy permits are not accessible to the general public. Tenants who have concerns about how their information is being handled within the Village may wish to contact the Code Enforcement Officer's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal law.
