Register of permits
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Senior Building Inspector to maintain a register of permits issued pursuant to this article.

Under Port Jefferson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 205 § 205-8, the Senior Building Inspector is required to maintain an official register of all rental-dwelling-unit permits issued under this article. The register must be organized by street address and must record the permit holder's name and address, the number of rental units at each address, the number of rooms in each unit, and each permit's expiration date. This creates a publicly traceable administrative record of permitted rental properties within the jurisdiction.

Port Jefferson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 205 § 205-8 places the recordkeeping obligation on the Senior Building Inspector, but compliant operators generally ensure that the information they provide when obtaining a permit — including their name, mailing address, unit count, and room count — is accurate and current, since that data feeds directly into the official register. When permit details change, such as a change in ownership or unit configuration, operators typically update their filings so the register reflects accurate information. Keeping personal records that mirror what was submitted helps operators verify that the register entry for their property is correct.
