Under Castleton-on-Hudson Code of Ordinances ch. 159 § 159-7, the Code Enforcement Officer is required to review every rental permit application for completeness and accuracy and to conduct an on-site inspection of the proposed rental unit or units. The officer must confirm that the unit and the broader premises comply with all applicable state, county, and Village laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations. A permit is issued only when the officer is satisfied that the unit will not create an unsafe or dangerous condition, constitute a substandard structure, or become a nuisance to neighboring properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 159-7, a Code Enforcement Officer will review the rental permit application and schedule an on-site inspection before any permit is issued. Operators who maintain their units and premises in full compliance with state, county, and Village codes — and who ensure conditions do not pose safety hazards or nuisances to neighbors — are generally positioned to satisfy the officer's review. Keeping documentation of repairs, code compliance measures, and property maintenance records can support a smooth inspection process.

Section 159-7 establishes that rental units in Castleton-on-Hudson must pass a Code Enforcement Officer's review and on-site inspection before a rental permit is granted, meaning tenants have a baseline assurance that permitted units have been evaluated for safety and code compliance. If a tenant believes a unit is unsafe, substandard, or creating a nuisance in violation of the standards described in § 159-7, they may consider contacting the Village's Code Enforcement Office to inquire about the unit's permit status or to report concerns. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York Village codes can help residents understand what options may be available when a unit appears not to meet the standards required for permit issuance.
