Compliance required
Operative Text
A. No permit or renewal thereof shall be issued under any application unless the property shall be in compliance with all the provisions of the Code of the Village of Amityville, the laws and sanitary and housing regulations of the County of Suffolk and the laws of the State of New York. B. Prior to the issuance of any such permit or renewal thereof, the property owner shall provide a certification from a licensed architect, a licensed professional engineer or the Code Enforcement Officer or his designee based upon a physical inspection of the premises that the property which is the subject of the application is in compliance with all the provisions of the Village Code, the laws and sanitary and housing regulations of the County of Suffolk and the laws of the State of New York.
Under Amityville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 137 § 137-4, no rental permit may be issued or renewed unless the property meets all applicable requirements of the Village of Amityville Code, Suffolk County sanitary and housing regulations, and New York State law. Before a permit or renewal is granted, a formal certification of compliance must be submitted, prepared by a licensed architect, a licensed professional engineer, or the Village's Code Enforcement Officer or their designee, following a physical inspection of the property. This rule ties the permit process directly to verified, on-site confirmation of compliance rather than self-reported assurances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under ch. 137 § 137-4 generally arrange for a physical inspection of their rental property prior to applying for or renewing a permit, and they obtain a written compliance certification from a licensed architect, licensed professional engineer, or the Code Enforcement Officer or designee. Compliant operators ensure that the property satisfies all Village of Amityville Code provisions, Suffolk County sanitary and housing regulations, and applicable New York State law before submitting that certification with their permit application. Keeping records of past inspections and certifications can help streamline future renewal cycles.

Section 137-4 of the Amityville Village Code establishes that a landlord's rental permit—and any renewal of it—must be backed by a certified physical inspection confirming the property meets Village, Suffolk County, and New York State standards. Tenants can ask to see whether a valid permit exists for their unit, since the permit's existence signals that a qualified professional has inspected and certified the property's compliance. Those who believe a landlord is operating without a required permit or certification may consider contacting the Village's Code Enforcement Office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
