Section 336-10 of Patchogue's Code of Ordinances requires that your landlord register the rental unit with the Village's Code Enforcement Officer before you move in — this is a legal obligation placed on the owner, not the tenant. If you have reason to believe a unit was never properly registered, that unregistered status may be relevant in housing or code-enforcement proceedings. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit complies with § 336-10 can contact the Village's Code Enforcement Office directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
