Hempstead Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-10
Enforcement
Operative Text
A. No permit or renewal thereof shall be issued under any application unless the property shall be in compliance with all the provisions of the Code of the Village of Hempstead, the laws and sanitary and housing regulations of the County of Nassau and the laws of the State of New York. B. Prior to the issuance of any such permit or renewal thereof, the property owner shall provide either (a) a certification from a licensed architect, a licensed professional engineer or a Village Building Inspector, or (b) a certification from the owner of the premises that the property which is the subject of the application is in compliance with the laws and sanitary and housing regulations of the County of Nassau, the State of New York and the Code of the Village of Hempstead.
Section 106-10 of the Hempstead Village Code establishes that rental permits and their renewals cannot be issued unless the subject property meets all applicable requirements under Village, Nassau County, and New York State law, including sanitary and housing regulations. Before any permit or renewal is granted, a formal certification of compliance must be submitted — either from a licensed architect, licensed professional engineer, or Village Building Inspector, or directly from the property owner. This provision ties the permit process to a documented, affirmative showing of legal compliance rather than a presumption of it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 106-10, compliant operators ensure that every rental permit application and renewal is accompanied by the required certification of compliance with Village of Hempstead, Nassau County, and New York State standards. Operators typically obtain this certification from a licensed architect, licensed professional engineer, or Village Building Inspector, or they execute an owner certification themselves. Maintaining up-to-date records of inspections, code corrections, and prior certifications generally supports a smooth permit or renewal process under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 106-10 means that a landlord is required to have obtained a valid permit — backed by a certification of compliance with all applicable housing and sanitary regulations — before renting the property. Tenants who have concerns about whether a property holds a current, properly certified permit may inquire with the Village of Hempstead directly or contact a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on how this requirement applies. If a permit was issued without the required compliance certification, that procedural gap under § 106-10 may be relevant to raise with the appropriate Village authority or in a housing proceeding.
