Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 228-8
Transfer of rental occupancy permit
Operative Text
A rental occupancy permit issued pursuant to this chapter is transferable to any person who has acquired ownership of a registered dwelling or dwelling unit for the unexpired portion of the two-year term for which it was issued, provided that an application to transfer such permit is filed with the Code Enforcement Officer within 30 days of title transfer and the dwelling and each dwelling unit therein are in compliance with Village of Delhi local laws or ordinances pertaining to the property.
Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-8, a rental occupancy permit does not automatically expire when a registered dwelling changes hands. Instead, the permit can follow the property to its new owner for the remainder of the original two-year term, so long as two conditions are met: a transfer application is submitted to the Code Enforcement Officer within 30 days of the title transfer, and the dwelling and all its units are in compliance with applicable Village of Delhi local laws and ordinances at the time of transfer. If either condition is not satisfied, the permit transfer may not be valid.

Property owners and managers acquiring a rental dwelling in Delhi, N.Y. should be aware that § 228-8 of ch. 228 requires a formal application to transfer an existing rental occupancy permit to the new owner within 30 days of the title transfer date. Compliant operators typically confirm the property's compliance with all Village of Delhi local laws and ordinances before or at the time of filing that application with the Code Enforcement Officer. Keeping documentation of the title transfer date and any compliance inspections helps demonstrate that the 30-day window and compliance requirements under this section were met.

Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 228 § 228-8, tenants living in a rental dwelling that has recently changed ownership have an interest in knowing whether the new owner has properly transferred the rental occupancy permit. If a permit was not validly transferred — because the 30-day application deadline was missed or the property was not in compliance — tenants may be able to raise that issue with the Village of Delhi Code Enforcement Officer or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options exist. Reviewing the permit status after a property sale is one way tenants can stay informed about whether their dwelling is being operated in accordance with this chapter.
