Operative Text
A. A permit issued hereunder shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of issuance, except upon transfer of record ownership of the premises under § 107-15 herein. B. An application for the renewal of a rental permit shall be signed by the owner and shall be completed and filed with the Building Inspector not later than 30 days prior to the expiration of any valid rental permit. The application for a renewal of the rental permit shall contain an official copy of the prior valid rental permit and either a signed and sworn affidavit by the owner affirming that the rental property, to the best of his/her knowledge, fully complies with all of the provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and Brightwaters Village Code, that the structure has not been physically altered in any way, except in full conformance with a valid building permit, and the owner is not aware of the property being in violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Brightwaters Village Code; or an inspection by the Building Inspector of the Village of Brightwaters.
Under Brightwaters, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 § 107-14, a rental permit issued in the village is valid for three years from its issuance date, with an exception when property ownership changes. To keep a permit current, a renewal application must be submitted to the Building Inspector at least 30 days before the existing permit expires. The renewal package must include a copy of the prior permit and either a sworn owner affidavit attesting to code compliance or a fresh inspection by the Building Inspector.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental property in Brightwaters should track the three-year expiration date on each permit issued under § 107-14 and calendar a renewal deadline no later than 30 days before that date. A compliant renewal submission includes the prior permit, a signed and sworn affidavit confirming the property meets New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and Brightwaters Village Code requirements and has not been physically altered outside of permitted work — or, alternatively, a Building Inspector inspection in lieu of the affidavit. Owners who have made structural changes should ensure those changes were covered by a valid building permit before signing the affidavit portion of the renewal.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 107-14 of the Brightwaters Village Code establishes that rental permits must be actively renewed every three years, meaning tenants can ask to see a current, valid permit as a baseline indicator that the property has been reviewed for code compliance. If a landlord appears to be operating without a valid or timely renewed permit, tenants may raise that concern with the Brightwaters Building Inspector's office, which oversees the permit process under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York Village Code enforcement can help residents understand what options may be available when permit requirements are not met.
