Review of application
Operative Text
The Code Enforcement Officer shall review each application for completeness and accuracy and shall make an on-site inspection of the proposed rental dwelling unit or units. If satisfied that the proposed rental dwelling unit or units, as well as the premises in which the same are located, comply fully with all applicable state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the county, town and Village, and that such rental dwelling unit or units would not create an unsafe or dangerous condition or create an unsafe and substandard structure, or create a nuisance to adjoining nearby property, the Code Enforcement Officer shall issue the permit or permits.
Under New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-8, a Code Enforcement Officer is required to review every rental permit application for completeness and accuracy and to conduct an on-site inspection of the proposed rental unit or units. A permit is issued only when the officer determines that the unit and the broader premises fully comply with all applicable state, county, town, and Village laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. The unit must also not pose unsafe or dangerous conditions, constitute a substandard structure, or create a nuisance to neighboring properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 196-8, compliant operators ensure that a rental dwelling unit and its surrounding premises meet all applicable state, county, town, and Village requirements before submitting a permit application. Operators generally keep the property free of conditions that could be characterized as unsafe, dangerous, structurally substandard, or a nuisance to adjoining properties, since the Code Enforcement Officer will conduct an on-site inspection as part of the review. Maintaining thorough documentation of repairs, inspections, and code-compliance efforts can support a smooth review process.

Section 196-8 establishes that a rental unit must pass a Code Enforcement Officer's on-site inspection and meet all applicable laws before a permit is issued, which means tenants have a basis to inquire whether a unit holds a valid permit before or during occupancy. If a unit appears to have been rented without a permit, or if conditions suggest the property would not have passed inspection, tenants may raise this as a concern with the Village's code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help residents understand what options are generally available when a unit may not comply with ch. 196 § 196-8.
