Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-9
Filing of rental agreement; identification of tenants
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter and an offense within the meaning of the Penal Law of the State of New York for any owner to permit any tenant or other person to take up residence by a rental occupancy without the owner first having filed with the Code Enforcement Officer a copy of the rental agreement and a form identifying the tenants provided by the Commissioner of Buildings. A rental agreement and new tenant identification form must be filed whenever a dwelling becomes vacant and the owner intends to permit a new tenant or other person to take up residence.
Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-9 requires that before any new tenant begins a rental occupancy, the property owner must file a copy of the rental agreement and a tenant identification form with the Code Enforcement Officer. This filing obligation is triggered each time a dwelling unit becomes vacant and the owner plans to allow a new occupant to move in. Failing to comply is classified as both a violation of the chapter and a criminal offense under New York State Penal Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Lake Success, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-9, compliant property owners obtain the required tenant identification form from the Commissioner of Buildings and submit it, along with a copy of the executed rental agreement, to the Code Enforcement Officer before a new tenant takes up residence. This filing must occur each time a unit turns over — not just at initial occupancy — so operators generally build the submission step into their standard unit-turnover process. Because non-compliance carries potential Penal Law exposure in addition to a chapter violation, timely and complete filing is a standard part of responsible property management in Lake Success.
