Poquott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 123 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 123-9
Application and renewal
Operative Text
A. A renewal application for a rental permit for a rental dwelling unit shall be made, in writing, by the owner of the property to the Building Department on a form provided therefor on or 90 days prior to the expiration date of any valid rental occupancy permit. A renewal rental occupancy permit shall contain a copy of the prior rental occupancy permit application. Such renewal application shall contain a signed statement setting forth the following: (1) That there are no existing or outstanding violations of any state, county, or local law, rule or regulation pertaining to the property. A determination that an existing or outstanding violation of any state, county, or local law, rule or regulation exists at the property shall result in an automatic rejection of said application until the existing matter has been corrected and/or adjudicated. (2) That there are no changes to any information as provided on the prior valid rental permit application. B. Prior to the issuance of a renewal rental occupancy permit, the applicant must pay a registration fee as described in § 123-10 of this article and arrange for and have satisfactory completion of an inspection of the rental dwelling and the premises in which it is located by a Code Enforcement Official employed by the Village that the structure and the dwelling units contained therein meet all applicable state and local laws, codes and regulations or obtain an inspection of the property and dwelling to be rented by and provide the Village a certified, stamped report by a New York State licensed architect or engineer certifying that the premises is free of violations and complies with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Poquott Village Code. If access to the rental dwelling is refused or cannot be obtained, the Village shall have the right to revoke or deny the rental property permit. If there are code violations or violations of this article, the Village shall not issue the rental permit, and shall issue orders to remedy or appearance tickets for all such violations. C. In the event of the issuance of appearance tickets for owner, occupants, managers or brokers, a rental permit shall not be issued to the owner until there has been a final disposition of the violations which are the basis for the appearance ticket or tickets before the Village Court and the conditions remedied or a determination made by the Court that no violation had been committed. D. If a property owner knowingly rents a rental dwelling that is found to be without one or more of the following: running water, heat or heat source, electricity, sanitary facilities, windows in sleeping spaces, cooking facilities, adequate off-street parking for all tenant vehicles, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as required by the Uniform Code, or there is the presence of black mold in the rental dwelling, the rental dwelling may not be rented until the condition is remedied and a reinspection indicating that the problem or problems have been resolved has been completed. If there are current tenants, they must be vacated in accordance with New York State law. E. The Village shall not accept, review or approve any renewal rental applications for rental dwellings wherein the prior rental permit expiration date has passed. If the expiration date has passed, the application will be considered a new application, not a renewal application, and the owner must file a new application.
Section 123-9 of the Poquott Village Code establishes the process for renewing a rental occupancy permit. Owners must submit a written renewal application to the Building Department at least 90 days before the current permit expires, certifying that no outstanding violations exist and that no information has changed from the prior application. Before a renewed permit is issued, a fee must be paid and an inspection must be completed — either by a Village Code Enforcement Official or a licensed New York State architect or engineer — confirming the property meets all applicable codes. If the permit has already expired when the application is submitted, it is treated as a brand-new application rather than a renewal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 123-9, compliant rental property operators in Poquott typically track permit expiration dates carefully and submit renewal paperwork to the Building Department no later than 90 days before expiration. A renewal package generally includes the prior permit application, a signed statement confirming no outstanding violations and no changed information, the required registration fee, and a scheduled inspection by either a Village Code Enforcement Official or a certified New York State licensed architect or engineer. Operators also ensure that essential services — such as running water, heat, electricity, sanitary facilities, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and adequate parking — are in place and functioning, since knowingly renting a unit lacking any of these can result in the unit being taken off the rental market until conditions are remedied.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 123-9 provides tenants with indirect but meaningful protections: a landlord cannot lawfully rent a unit in Poquott without a valid rental occupancy permit that has passed inspection, meaning the property must meet state and local code requirements before occupancy is permitted. If a unit is found to lack essentials such as running water, heat, electricity, sanitary facilities, or smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, the provision requires that current tenants be vacated in accordance with New York State law and that the condition be remedied before re-rental. Tenants who believe their unit may be operating without a valid permit or in violation of applicable codes can contact the Poquott Village Building Department to inquire about permit status, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
