North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 8-9
Issuance of license
Operative Text
A. The Building Commissioner shall not issue any license until he shall have caused a review of all application materials and an inspection of the premises to be licensed and until he is satisfied that the provisions of this chapter, the Uniform Code and all other applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations pertaining to multiple residences have been complied with and that the required fee has been paid. B. If, after the review described above, the Building Commissioner is satisfied that the multiple residence meets all applicable standards, he shall issue a multiple residence license. The license shall remain in effect for two years from the date of issue. C. If, after the review described above, the Building Commissioner is not satisfied that the multiple residence meets all applicable standards, he shall detail the specific problems and provide them to the applicant. If the applicant has not cured the problems within the time allotted by the Building Commissioner, the application shall be denied and a license shall not be issued.
Under North Hempstead Code ch. 8 § 8-9, the Building Commissioner must review all application materials and physically inspect a property before any multiple residence license can be issued. A license is granted only when the property meets all applicable standards—including the Uniform Code and other relevant laws—and the required fee has been paid; it then remains valid for two years. If deficiencies are found, the applicant is given a specific list of problems and a deadline to correct them, and failure to do so results in denial of the license.
