Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 433-14
Rental registration required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter and an offense within the meaning of the Penal Law of the State of New York for any owner to permit any tenant or other person to take up residence by a rental occupancy in any dwelling unit or for a person to take up residence by a rental occupancy without the owners first having completed and filed with the Building Inspector a rental registration form approved by the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale Administrator. A new form must be filed whenever a dwelling unit or portion thereof has become vacant, and the owner intends to permit a new tenant or other person to take up residence.
Section 433-14 of Farmingdale's Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful for any rental occupancy to begin in a dwelling unit unless the owner has first filed an approved rental registration form with the Building Inspector. The requirement applies each time a unit becomes vacant and the owner plans to allow a new occupant to move in. Failing to register before occupancy begins constitutes both a local code violation and an offense under New York State Penal Law.

Under § 433-14, compliant rental property operators in Farmingdale obtain and complete the Village-approved rental registration form and file it with the Building Inspector before any new tenant takes up residence. A fresh registration form is required each time a unit turns over — it is not a one-time filing. Operators generally maintain records of each filed form to demonstrate timely compliance whenever a unit changes occupants.

Section 433-14 establishes that a landlord must register a rental unit with the Farmingdale Building Inspector before a new tenancy begins, which means tenants have an interest in knowing whether that registration was completed. If a landlord has not filed the required form, that failure constitutes a violation of the local code and potentially an offense under New York State Penal Law. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit is properly registered may contact the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale's Building Department or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing regulations.
