A. The Building Inspector shall review each application for a rental permit in respect of any dwelling unit for completeness and accuracy as well as compliance with the other provisions set forth in this chapter, shall assure that any inspection or certification, as required pursuant to § 103-9 , shall have been completed by the Village or submitted to the Village and shall issue the applicable rental permit or provide a written denial of the application with a reasonable explanation for such denial within 60 days of the filing of a complete application for a rental permit. B. No rental permit shall be issued unless such dwelling unit and the applicable property on which the applicable dwelling unit is located (including any structures located thereon) complies with all applicable local, county, state and federal laws, codes, rules and regulations that apply to the use of such dwelling unit and property for residential and/or rental purposes. C. No rental permit or renewal thereof shall be issued unless the owner(s) of the applicable dwelling unit submits either (i) a certification from an independent professional engineer or registered architect, other than any owner-related person, licensed in the State of New York and containing their seal, or (ii) the certification of the Building Inspector or of an independent state certified code enforcement official, attesting, in either case, that the applicable dwelling unit is in compliance with the Uniform Code, and complies with all applicable local, county, state and federal laws, codes, rules and regulations that apply to the use of such dwelling unit for residential and/or rental purposes. Nothing in this article, except in the case of an emergency pursuant to § 103-19 and in accord with federal law, shall be deemed to authorize any Village employee or personnel or any other person acting on behalf of the Village to conduct an inspection of any property without the consent of an owner or the property, if the dwelling unit or units are unoccupied, and if occupied, upon the consent of the occupant or owner of the property in the absence of a warrant duly issued by a court of law. D. No rental permit shall be issued unless and until certification contemplated by Subsection C has been received by the Building Inspector and the Building Inspector has confirmed to its reasonable satisfaction that the applicable dwelling unit fully complies with all applicable provisions of the Uniform Code and all other applicable local, county, state and federal laws, codes, rules and regulations that apply to the use of such property for residential and/or rental purposes. E. An application for a rental permit may be denied for one or more of the following reasons: (1) The information or documentation required for the application was not submitted in full or the permit fee was not included with the application. (2) The Building Inspector has reasonable grounds to believe that any of the information or certifications contained in the rental permit application are materially incorrect or fail to state a material fact that is relevant to the determination as to whether an applicable dwelling unit is permitted to be the subject of the applicable type of rental permit being applied for, including, in connection with an application in respect of any short-term rental permit, the determination that the applicable dwelling unit satisfies the criteria to constitute an eligible dwelling unit or that any of the other applicable conditions contained in § 103-6C(1) are satisfied in respect of the issuance of such short-term rental permit. (3) There are violations of the Code pending against an applicable owner or owners in respect of the applicable dwelling unit or the property on which such dwelling unit is located, including violations of this chapter, Chapter 88 (Noise) or Chapter 150 (Zoning). (4) A rental permit for the applicable dwelling unit has been revoked in accordance with the terms of this chapter within the prior three years unless the owner of the applicable dwelling unit was not an owner of the applicable dwelling unit at the time such rental permit was revoked. (5) The applicable dwelling unit and/or the property on which it is located is determined to be unfit for human habitation or occupancy. (6) The applicable dwelling unit or any other building or structure located on the same property, is damaged, decayed, dilapidated, unsanitary, unsafe or infested in such a manner as to create a hazard to the health and safety of the general public or any occupants of the dwelling unit or property. (7) The existence of any other condition or circumstance in respect of the applicable dwelling unit or the property on which it is located which, in the reasonable opinion of the Building Inspector is dangerous, illegal, unsafe or jeopardizes the health, welfare and safety of the general public or any occupants of the dwelling unit or property. F. Any application for a rental permit, including the renewal of a permit, can be denied for the reasons set forth above. If an application is denied, notice of denial shall be given in writing and served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and by regular mail, to the applicant at the address shown on the application. If the notice is returned by the Post Office as undeliverable for any reason, so long as such notice was properly addressed, service of the notice shall be valid. G. Any notice of denial shall set forth the grounds therefor and contain a statement that the applicant may appeal such denial in accordance with § 103-15 below. H. Such notice of denial shall be deemed the issuance of a determination by the administrative official charged with enforcement of this chapter.
