Compliance required
Operative Text
No application for a building permit for a housing accommodation submitted after this chapter takes effect shall be valid unless it bears the printed and signed statement that the permit applicant understands and will comply with this chapter.
Under Mount Pleasant, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-8, any building permit application for a housing accommodation filed after the chapter's effective date must include a printed and signed statement from the applicant affirming awareness of and intent to comply with the chapter's requirements. An application that lacks this statement is considered invalid. This requirement functions as a gatekeeping mechanism, ensuring that applicants formally acknowledge the local housing regulations before a permit can be processed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers seeking building permits for housing accommodations in Mount Pleasant must ensure that every application submitted after ch. 98 took effect includes the required printed and signed compliance statement referenced in § 98-8. Operators who routinely handle permit applications generally build this acknowledgment step into their standard application preparation process. Omitting the statement renders the application invalid, which can delay or derail a project.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 98-8 of Mount Pleasant's ch. 98 establishes that housing accommodation permits issued without the required compliance statement were not validly obtained, which may be relevant context for tenants in buildings where permit compliance is in question. Tenants who believe a landlord has not complied with ch. 98's requirements can raise this as a concern with the appropriate local municipal office or a tenant-rights organization. Reviewing the permit history of a housing accommodation is one avenue for understanding whether the building's development followed the required procedures.
