Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-6, a 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 dwelling and each unit within it. A permit may be issued only when the officer is satisfied that the property fully complies with all applicable state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, and that it does not present unsafe, substandard, or nuisance conditions. If those standards are not met, the officer must deny the permit and may provide a written explanation of the reasons for that denial.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 228-6, compliant operators generally ensure that each rental dwelling and every unit within it meets all applicable state and local codes before submitting a permit application, since the Code Enforcement Officer will conduct an on-site inspection as part of the review process. Maintaining documentation of repairs, code compliance, and property condition can support a smooth inspection. If a permit is denied, the written statement of reasons provided under § 228-6(C) typically identifies the specific deficiencies that would need to be addressed before reapplication.
