Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 433-9
Register of permits
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to maintain a register of permits issued pursuant to this chapter. Such register shall be kept by street address and show the name and address of the permittee, the number of rental dwelling units at such street address, the number of rooms in each such rental dwelling unit and the date of expiration of the permit for such unit.
Under Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 § 433-9, the Building Inspector is required to maintain an official register of all rental dwelling unit permits issued under this chapter. The register must be organized by street address and include the permit holder's name and address, the number of rental units at each address, the number of rooms in each unit, and each permit's expiration date. This provision establishes a public record-keeping obligation rather than imposing duties on property owners or tenants directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 433-9, the Building Inspector—not the landlord—bears the duty of maintaining the permit register, but compliant operators generally ensure their permit applications and renewals supply accurate information so the register reflects the correct number of rental units, room counts, and permittee contact details. Keeping your own records consistent with what was submitted for permitting helps avoid discrepancies if the Building Inspector's register is ever audited or referenced in an enforcement action. Operators typically verify that their street address, unit count, and permit expiration dates on file with the Building Inspector match their actual property configuration.

Section 433-9 of Farmingdale's Code of Ordinances requires the Building Inspector to keep a register of rental permits that includes the number of units and rooms at each address, which can serve as a useful reference for tenants who want to confirm whether their building and unit are properly permitted. Tenants who suspect their unit is not reflected accurately in the register may contact the Farmingdale Building Inspector's office to inquire about the permit status for their address. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how the permit register under ch. 433 § 433-9 may be relevant to housing complaints or code-enforcement inquiries.
