Operative Text
(a) A permit for the construction of any multiple-unit dwelling shall be required as specified in § 30-11 H herein. (b) No person, group, business, corporation or other entity shall own or operate any multiple-residence facility unless an annual permit has been issued by the division of fire prevention.

(c) All multiple-residence facilities shall be in compliance with the appropriate standards of the NFPA.
Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 9 § 9-82 establishes that any multiple-unit dwelling requires a construction permit as cross-referenced in § 30-11 H, and that every multiple-residence facility must hold a current annual operating permit issued by the local division of fire prevention. The annual permit requirement has been in effect since June 1, 1986, and must be renewed each year without lapse. Additionally, all such facilities are required to meet the applicable standards set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 9 § 9-82, operators of multiple-residence facilities generally maintain an uninterrupted annual operating permit from the division of fire prevention, tracking renewal deadlines to avoid any gap in permitted status. Compliant operators also ensure their properties meet the relevant NFPA standards, which typically involves routine fire-safety inspections and documentation. For new construction, the required construction permit under § 30-11 H is secured before work begins.

Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 9 § 9-82 gives residents of multiple-unit dwellings an interest in knowing whether their building holds a valid annual operating permit from the division of fire prevention and meets NFPA fire-safety standards. Tenants who have reason to believe a facility is operating without the required permit or out of compliance with fire-safety standards may consider contacting the local division of fire prevention to inquire about a property's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance with this provision.
