Contents of rental permit
Operative Text
The rental permit issued under this chapter shall contain the following information: A. The address, type of structure, and structure classification. B. The date of inspection. C. The date of issuance. D. The expiration date. E. Number of dwelling units. F. A statement, where applicable under this chapter, that the structure cannot be inhabited by more than four nonfamily persons as defined in this chapter. G. A statement indicating whether the structure is equipped with a fire alarm system. H. A statement indicating whether the structure is equipped with a sprinkler system.
Under Geneseo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 § 96-28, every rental permit issued in the village must display a standardized set of information, including the property address, structure type and classification, inspection and issuance dates, expiration date, number of dwelling units, any applicable occupancy limit regarding nonfamily persons, and whether the building has a fire alarm or sprinkler system. This requirement ensures that the permit itself serves as a transparent, at-a-glance record of key facts about the rental property. The rule does not grant or restrict any right beyond specifying what the permit document must contain.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 96 § 96-28 generally ensure that each rental permit they receive from the village accurately reflects all eight required data points before posting or retaining it. A compliant operator reviews the issued permit to confirm that the structure classification, inspection date, expiration date, unit count, occupancy-limit statement (if applicable), and fire-safety system disclosures are all present and correct. If any required field appears missing or inaccurate, contacting the issuing authority promptly to obtain a corrected permit is the standard practice.

Section 96-28 of Geneseo's rental code means that a lawfully permitted rental property should have a permit on record that discloses, among other things, the maximum number of nonfamily occupants allowed and whether the building is equipped with a fire alarm or sprinkler system. Tenants can request to review the permit or inquire with the village about its contents to verify that the property is properly permitted and that fire-safety equipment disclosures are accurate. If a tenant believes a landlord is operating without a valid permit or that the permit's information is inaccurate, reaching out to the village's code enforcement office or a local tenant-rights organization are among the paths available for follow-up.
