Albion, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 85 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 85-3
Term of permit; annual inspection
Operative Text
Rental permits, issued pursuant to satisfactory completion of a housing maintenance inspection, shall remain in effect for one year or until there is a change in tenancy, which ever occurs first. Annual inspections must be conducted before the end of the calendar month in which the expiring permit was issued.
Under Albion, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 85 § 85-3, rental permits are tied to both time and occupancy: a permit expires after one year or when a tenant change occurs, whichever comes first. Before a permit lapses, a housing maintenance inspection must be completed, and the renewal inspection must take place within the same calendar month that the original permit was issued. This creates a rolling, occupancy-sensitive inspection cycle for rental properties in Albion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 85-3, compliant rental operators in Albion track the issuance month of each rental permit and schedule their annual housing maintenance inspection before that calendar month ends each year. Because a permit also expires upon a change in tenancy, operators generally arrange for a new inspection and permit whenever a unit turns over, regardless of where they are in the annual cycle. Keeping a property-by-property log of permit issuance dates and tenancy changes helps ensure no unit operates under an expired permit.

Section 85-3 of Albion's Code of Ordinances means that the rental unit a tenant occupies should be covered by a valid, inspection-backed permit at all times — both on an annual basis and whenever tenancy changes. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord is operating without a current permit, they may raise that concern with the local code enforcement office responsible for administering ch. 85. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain what options are generally available when a landlord may not be in compliance with local permitting requirements.
