New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-19
When effective
Operative Text
This chapter shall be effective upon filing with the Secretary of State. No violation of this chapter will be charged prior to June 1, 2006, and no violation of this chapter, regarding failure to obtain a permit, will be charged against a person or entity which: A. Has filed the necessary application in proper form and in good faith, with all required information and attachments, on or before June 1, 2006; B. Has consented to an inspection of the premises question; and C. Has not received a final determination on the application, for reasons over which the applicant has no control.
New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-19 establishes when the rental-permit chapter takes legal effect and sets a grace period for early compliance. No enforcement actions for violations could be initiated before June 1, 2006, and applicants who submitted a complete, good-faith permit application by that date were shielded from permit-related charges while their application remained pending through no fault of their own. This provision essentially protected those who made timely, proper efforts to comply from being penalized during the administrative processing period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 196 § 196-19, compliant operators who needed to obtain a permit under this chapter generally ensured they filed a complete and good-faith application—with all required information and attachments—by the June 1, 2006 deadline. Operators who also consented to a premises inspection and had not yet received a final determination due to circumstances outside their control were protected from permit-related violation charges during that interim period. Property owners or managers dealing with similar transitional provisions in other chapters should document timely filings and inspection consents to demonstrate good-faith compliance.

Section 196-19 of the New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances ch. 196 established that no violations under this chapter could be charged before June 1, 2006, which means tenants can look to this provision to understand the timeline of when landlord permit obligations became enforceable. If a landlord's permit status is relevant to a housing matter, tenants may wish to review whether the landlord met the filing and inspection-consent conditions outlined in this section. Tenant-rights organizations or a local housing authority can help clarify how the chapter's effective date and grace-period provisions may relate to a particular housing situation.
