Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-12
Effect of delivery of information or certifications
Operative Text
Any writing or certification required to be made by an owner pursuant to this chapter (including any information contained therein) shall be made under penalty of perjury of the laws of the Village of Greenport and the State of New York and any statement that is determined to be false, misleading or fraudulent or an omission of any material fact or information required to be disclosed in connection therewith shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be subject in all respects to the penalties set forth below in § 103-18 and the suspension or revocation of the applicable rental permit in accordance with § 103-14 .
Under Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-12, any written statement or certification that a property owner submits as required by Chapter 103 carries the weight of a sworn declaration under New York State and Village of Greenport perjury laws. If such a submission is found to be false, misleading, fraudulent, or to omit required material information, it constitutes a violation of the chapter. A violation of this kind exposes the owner to the monetary penalties described in § 103-18 and may also result in the suspension or revocation of the relevant rental permit under § 103-14.

Operators subject to Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-12 generally ensure that every written certification or disclosure they submit under Chapter 103 is complete, accurate, and free of omissions. Because these submissions are treated as statements made under penalty of perjury, compliant operators typically review all required information carefully before signing and submitting. Errors or gaps that are later deemed material can trigger the penalty provisions of § 103-18 and put a rental permit at risk of suspension or revocation under § 103-14.

Greenport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 § 103-12 establishes that owner-submitted certifications and disclosures required by Chapter 103 are legally sworn statements, giving tenants a basis to raise concerns if they believe information provided was false, misleading, or incomplete. A finding that an owner's submission violated this provision can lead to penalties under § 103-18 and potential suspension or revocation of the rental permit under § 103-14. Tenants who believe a required disclosure was inaccurate or omitted material facts may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or contact the relevant Village of Greenport authority to understand available complaint or enforcement paths.
