Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-5
Term of rental dwelling unit registration certificate
Operative Text
A rental dwelling unit registration certificate issued pursuant to this article shall expire three years after the date of its issue. Renewal shall require the submission of another properly completed rental registration form and payment of the registration fee, and shall be due within 30 days after the previous registration's expiration.
Under Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-5, a rental dwelling unit registration certificate is valid for three years from its issue date. Once that period ends, the certificate expires and the registration must be renewed by submitting a new completed registration form and paying the applicable fee. The renewal submission is due within 30 days following the expiration of the prior certificate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental dwelling units in Hancock should track the three-year expiration date of each registration certificate issued under ch. 83 § 83-5. A compliant operator submits a freshly completed rental registration form and pays the renewal fee before the 30-day post-expiration window closes. Maintaining a calendar reminder well ahead of the expiration date helps ensure the property does not fall out of registered status.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 83-5 of Hancock's rental dwelling ordinance requires that landlords hold a current, valid registration certificate for rental units, renewed on a three-year cycle. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord's registration has lapsed and not been renewed within the required 30-day window, that information may be relevant when raising concerns with local municipal authorities. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what remedies or defenses may be available when a landlord is out of compliance with registration requirements.
