Laurel Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 100 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 100-2
Rental registration required
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 in any dwelling without the owner first having completed and filed with the Village Clerk a rental registration form approved by the Code Enforcement Officer. A new form must be filed whenever a dwelling has become vacant and the owner intends to permit a new tenant to take up residence.
Section 100-2 of Laurel Hollow's Code of Ordinances requires that property owners register a rental dwelling with the Village Clerk before any new tenant moves in. The registration must be completed on a form approved by the Code Enforcement Officer. Allowing a tenant to occupy a rental unit without first filing this form is classified as both a local code violation and a criminal offense under New York State Penal Law. A fresh registration form must also be submitted each time a unit becomes vacant and the owner plans to re-rent it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 100-2 of Laurel Hollow's Code of Ordinances, compliant rental property operators obtain and complete the Village Clerk's approved rental registration form before any new tenancy begins—not after move-in. Operators also track vacancy events, because each time a unit turns over and a new occupant is intended, a new form must be filed. Failing to register exposes an owner to both a local code violation and potential Penal Law liability, making timely filing a standard part of the tenant-turnover process.

Section 100-2 of Laurel Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that your landlord is legally required to have filed a rental registration form with the Village Clerk before you moved in. If that registration was never completed, the owner may be in violation of local law and potentially in violation of New York State Penal Law. Tenants who believe this requirement was not met can contact the Laurel Hollow Village Clerk or Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about compliance, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance on what options may be available.
