Sands Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-11
Confidentiality of rental registration
Operative Text
Under Public Officers Law § 87 , Subdivision 2(b), rental registration forms and that portion of the Rental Occupancy registration application required under § 127-5B(3) shall be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law, on the grounds that such disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Section 127-11 of the Sands Point Code establishes that rental registration forms and the personal-information portion of the Rental Occupancy registration application are shielded from public disclosure under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). This exemption is grounded in Public Officers Law § 87(2)(b), which permits withholding records whose release would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As a result, the identifying details submitted as part of the rental registration process are not available to members of the public who submit FOIL requests.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-11, the personal information that property owners submit on rental registration forms and the Rental Occupancy registration application required by § 127-5B(3) is treated as confidential by the village. Compliant operators generally submit required registration materials with the understanding that those records are protected from routine public disclosure. Familiarity with this confidentiality provision can inform how owners communicate the registration process to tenants and other parties who may ask about the information collected.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 127-11 means that the personal details contained in a landlord's rental registration filing are not publicly accessible through a standard Freedom of Information Law request. Tenants who have questions about what information was submitted, or who believe their own personal data may be at issue, can inquire directly with the Sands Point village offices responsible for administering Chapter 127. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal law can also help explain how this confidentiality protection interacts with other rights under the village code.
