New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-5
Rental occupancy permit required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any person or entity who owns a dwelling unit in a mixed occupancy building and in a multiple dwelling to establish, maintain, use, let, lease, rent or suffer or permit the occupancy and use thereof as a rental occupancy without having first obtained a valid permit for such rental occupancy from the Building Department of the Village as herein provided. No rental occupancy permit shall be granted to a transient rental property.
New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-5 establishes that renting out a dwelling unit in a mixed-occupancy building or multiple dwelling is prohibited unless the owner has first secured a valid rental occupancy permit from the Village's Building Department. Operating a rental unit without this permit constitutes a violation of the chapter. Additionally, the rule categorically bars transient rental properties from obtaining a rental occupancy permit at all.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 196 § 196-5, compliant operators of dwelling units in mixed-occupancy buildings or multiple dwellings obtain a valid rental occupancy permit from the Village of New Hyde Park Building Department before allowing any tenant to move in. Maintaining that permit in good standing for each rental unit is a standard part of ongoing property management in the Village. Because the ordinance explicitly prohibits issuing permits to transient rental properties, owners who use or intend to use a unit for short-term or transient rentals should be aware that such arrangements fall outside the permit framework entirely.

Ch. 196 § 196-5 of the New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances gives tenants a basis to inquire whether their unit in a mixed-occupancy building or multiple dwelling is covered by a valid rental occupancy permit issued by the Village Building Department. If a unit is being rented without the required permit, that situation represents a violation of the chapter, which tenants may raise with the Building Department or reference when addressing habitability or code-compliance concerns. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can help explain what options are generally available when a landlord has not complied with local permitting requirements.
