Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 98-3
Duration of registration and permit; duty to keep information current; renewals
Operative Text
A. Rental registrations and permits issued pursuant to this chapter shall be valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance. In the event any information contained in the registration application changes during the term of any registration, the registration shall expire unless the owner files an amendment to the registration application within 30 days of the event which caused the change of information. A mere change in tenants, without any change in the information contained in the registration application, shall not cause the expiration of a registration and permit, nor require an amendment to the registration and permit. B. An owner or representative of an owner of a rental dwelling unit may apply for renewal of a registration and permit at any time on or after 60 days prior to the expiration of the registration and permit. Such renewal application shall be made by completing the same application as required for an initial registration, and shall be accompanied by a renewal fee in an amount established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees. C. The Superintendent of Building Department shall grant each registration and permit application, or renewal thereof, which complies with the provisions of this chapter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Superintendent may deny such registration and permit, or renewal thereof, where there is an existing violation of any provision of the Village Code at such property which is reasonably related to the safe use and occupancy of the property for residential purposes.
Under Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-3, rental registrations and permits are valid for two years from issuance. If any information in the original registration application changes during that period, the owner must file an amendment within 30 days or the registration expires — though a simple change in tenants alone does not trigger this requirement. Renewals may be applied for starting 60 days before expiration, and the Superintendent of Building Department may deny or withhold a registration if an existing Village Code violation poses a reasonable concern for the safe residential use of the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental dwelling units in Sea Cliff should be aware that under ch. 98 § 98-3, registrations run for two-year terms and must be actively maintained. Compliant operators track any changes to their registration application details — such as ownership, contact information, or property characteristics — and file amendments within 30 days of those changes to avoid automatic expiration. Renewal applications are submitted using the same form as the initial registration, accompanied by the applicable fee set by the Board of Trustees, and can be filed as early as 60 days before the current permit expires; operators also address any open Village Code violations related to safe residential occupancy, since such violations can be grounds for denial under this section.

Sea Cliff, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 98 § 98-3 establishes that rental units must be covered by a valid, current registration and permit, which can be denied or not renewed when unresolved code violations affect the safe use and occupancy of the property. Tenants who have concerns about whether their unit's registration is current, or about underlying code violations that may have led to a denial, may contact the Sea Cliff Superintendent of Building Department to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing advocates can help residents understand what options may be available when a rental unit's registration is in question.
