Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 78-9
Transfer of license; fee
Operative Text
In the event of a sale or transfer of licensed premises used as a lodging, boarding- or rooming house or hotel or motel, the new owner or transferee, upon filing a new application as set forth in this chapter, shall be issued a license for the unexpired term of the existing license upon the payment of a fee of $5 to the Village Clerk.
Under Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-9, when a lodging, boarding, rooming house, hotel, or motel changes ownership, the incoming owner does not need to wait for a new license cycle to begin. Instead, by submitting a fresh application and paying a $5 fee to the Village Clerk, the new owner receives a license covering the remainder of the prior owner's license term. The rule ensures continuity of licensure during ownership transitions without requiring a full new licensing period.

Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-9 governs what happens to a lodging or rooming house license when the property changes hands, ensuring the facility remains licensed under a new owner for the balance of the existing license term. Tenants residing in such properties may find it relevant to know whether a new owner has properly filed and obtained a transferred license, as operating without a valid license could implicate other provisions of ch. 78. Those with concerns about licensing compliance in their building can inquire with the Village Clerk's office or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
