Baxter Estates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 146-11
Transfer of permit prohibited
Operative Text
A permit issued hereunder shall not be transferred or be transferable to a successor record owner. The then-current record owner shall provide written notice to the Superintendent of Buildings upon transfer of title to the premises within 48 hours of any such event. The successor record owner shall, not later than 10 days after the date of transfer of title to the premises, apply for such permit or permits hereunder as may then be required for such premises.
Under Baxter Estates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 146 § 146-11, a rental operating permit is tied to the individual owner who obtained it and cannot be passed along when a property changes hands. When a property is sold or otherwise transferred, the outgoing owner must notify the Superintendent of Buildings in writing within 48 hours of the title transfer. The new owner then has a 10-day window from the date of transfer to apply for any permits required for that property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Baxter Estates ch. 146 § 146-11 generally ensure that their permit obligations are addressed as part of any property sale or transfer process. A compliant outgoing owner delivers written notice to the Superintendent of Buildings within 48 hours of the title transfer, and a compliant incoming owner submits a fresh permit application within 10 days of taking title. Because permits do not carry over automatically, incoming owners who intend to operate rental units typically treat the permit application as an immediate post-closing priority.

Baxter Estates ch. 146 § 146-11 establishes that a new property owner must hold a valid permit in their own name, obtained within 10 days of acquiring the property. If a property has recently changed ownership and tenants have reason to believe the new owner has not obtained the required permit, they may raise that concern with the Superintendent of Buildings or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or protections may be available. Awareness of this requirement can be relevant when evaluating whether a landlord is operating in compliance with local ordinances.
