Operative Text
Upon inspection and approval of the premises by the Village's Code Enforcement Official, the Village shall issue a tenancy certificate of occupancy certifying that the premises is in compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and Chapter 345 , Zoning, of the Code of the Village of Valatie.
Under Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 261 § 261-6, a tenancy certificate of occupancy is issued by the Village only after the Code Enforcement Official has inspected the rental premises and found it to be in compliance with both the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Village's Zoning chapter (Chapter 345). The certificate serves as official confirmation that the property meets applicable code and zoning standards at the time of inspection. No tenancy certificate is issued without this prior approval step.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 261-6, compliant operators in Valatie ensure that rental premises are ready for inspection by the Village's Code Enforcement Official before a tenancy certificate of occupancy is sought. Property owners and managers generally maintain the premises in conformance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and Chapter 345 (Zoning) so that approval can be granted without delay. Keeping records of prior inspections and any corrective actions taken can help demonstrate ongoing compliance when the certificate is required.

Section 261-6 of the Valatie Code establishes that a tenancy certificate of occupancy must be issued by the Village before a rental unit is certified as compliant with fire, building, and zoning standards. Tenants can ask to see a current tenancy certificate of occupancy for their unit as a way of confirming that the premises passed official inspection. Those who have concerns about whether a valid certificate exists may contact the Village's Code Enforcement office or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
