Broker's responsibility after renting
Operative Text

Failure to file 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.
Under Laurel Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 100 § 100-5, any real estate broker or agent who earns a commission or other compensation for renting or leasing a dwelling unit is required to file specific documents — a rental registration form, a copy of the rental agreement, and a tenant identification form — with the Code Enforcement Officer within five business days of earning that compensation. This filing obligation is waived only if the property owner has already submitted those same forms. Failing to complete this filing is treated as unlawful under the chapter and constitutes a criminal offense under New York State Penal Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 100-5, property owners who proactively file the rental registration form, rental agreement copy, and tenant identification form with the Code Enforcement Officer can relieve their broker or agent of the obligation to do so. Operators who manage their own rentals without a broker bear the registration responsibility directly and generally maintain records showing timely submission to the Code Enforcement Officer. Keeping dated copies of all filed documents is a common practice among compliant operators in Laurel Hollow.

Section 100-5 of Laurel Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes a public registration process that results in your tenancy being documented with the village's Code Enforcement Officer, whether filed by the property owner or the broker who arranged the rental. If you have reason to believe neither the owner nor the broker completed this filing, you may contact the Laurel Hollow Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about the status of your unit's registration. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County or New York State housing law can help you understand what remedies or protections may flow from a failure to register under this provision.
