Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-16
Listing or rentals
Operative Text
A. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any person, broker or agent to list and/or knowingly show or otherwise offer for lease, rent or sale on behalf of the owner or authorized agent any dwelling unit which is, itself, a rental dwelling or which contains a rental dwelling, for which a current rental occupancy permit has not been issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. It shall be the person's, broker's or agent's duty to verify the existence of a valid rental occupancy permit before listing and/or knowingly showing or otherwise offering for lease, rent or sale any such dwelling unit in village. B. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any person, broker or agent to cause an advertisement or solicitation for a rental dwelling to be listed, placed, posted or submitted for inclusion on any website, in the mass media, or in printed materials, including flyers, without such person, broker or agent first verifying the existence of a valid rental occupancy permit.
Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-16 establishes that no person, broker, or agent may list, show, advertise, or otherwise offer a rental dwelling unit for lease, rent, or sale unless a current rental occupancy permit has been issued by the Code Enforcement Officer. This applies to both in-person showings and any form of advertising, including websites, mass media, and printed materials such as flyers. The rule places the verification obligation squarely on the person, broker, or agent doing the listing or advertising, not solely on the property owner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 196-16, property owners and their authorized agents are expected to ensure that a valid rental occupancy permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer is in place before any listing, showing, or advertisement of a rental dwelling unit is initiated. Compliant operators typically confirm permit status at the outset of any marketing effort and make permit documentation readily available to any broker or agent acting on their behalf. Keeping permit records current and accessible helps avoid violations that could arise from advertising activity conducted by third parties.

Section 196-16 of the Cedarhurst Code means that any rental dwelling unit advertised or shown to prospective tenants should already hold a valid rental occupancy permit from the Code Enforcement Officer. If a tenant encounters a unit that was listed or shown without such a permit, that may constitute a violation of this chapter, which could be relevant context when evaluating the legitimacy of a tenancy or lease offer. Tenants who have questions about a unit's permit status may contact the Cedarhurst Code Enforcement Officer directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing regulations.
