Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 78-16
Register of occupants
Operative Text
Each of the premises licensed under this chapter shall keep and maintain at all times upon such licensed premises a register showing the names of the occupants, dates of occupancy and the rooms occupied by all persons residing or living in and upon said premises. The same shall be open for inspection at all times to the Police Department, the Superintendent of Buildings or his employees or any other agent duly designated by the Village Board, and such inspection may be made upon demand. Failure to maintain, keep and exhibit such register shall be grounds for revocation of the license.
Under Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-16, any premises licensed under Chapter 78 must keep an on-site register that records each occupant's name, the dates they occupied the premises, and which rooms they used. This register must be available for immediate inspection by the Police Department, the Superintendent of Buildings or their staff, or any other Village Board-designated agent. Failing to maintain, keep, or produce the register when requested is treated as grounds to revoke the premises' license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of licensed premises under ch. 78 § 78-16 generally maintain an up-to-date, on-site occupancy register at all times, ensuring it captures each resident's name, occupancy dates, and room assignments. Because the provision allows inspection 'upon demand,' compliant operators keep the register readily accessible rather than stored off-site or in a format that requires advance preparation to produce. A lapse in maintaining or presenting the register can trigger license revocation proceedings, making routine upkeep of this record a core compliance task.

Section 78-16 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances requires that a register documenting occupants—including names, dates, and room assignments—be kept on the licensed premises where residents live. Tenants have an interest in knowing that this register exists, as its accuracy can bear on questions of lawful occupancy and licensing status. If a tenant believes the register is not being maintained or that the premises may be operating without a valid license, they may consider contacting the Village of Lynbrook's Superintendent of Buildings or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
