Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-25

(A) The owner or managing agent of rental property or a dwelling unit shall apply for a rental permit before the property or dwelling unit is advertised for rent or if the vacancy is not advertised then such permit shall be obtained before the premises are leased or occupied by one other than a member of the owner's immediate family. The rental permit number shall be noted on the advertisement. Failure to file an application or to apply within the specified period shall be deemed a violation of this article. (B) Transfer of property. In the event ownership of rental property is transferred to a new owner, the new owner or managing agent shall apply for a rental permit within thirty (30) days of the closing of title if any portion of the property is rented or leased at the time of closing. If an application is not filed as required by this article there shall be a presumption that the property is being utilized as rental property by the new owner(s) in violation of law. Failure to file an application or to apply within the specified period shall be deemed a violation of this article. (C) Application. Applications for rental permits shall be on forms provided by the Department of Public Safety and signed by each owner or managing agent of the property. A non-refundable application fee of seventy-five ($75.00) dollars per property shall be payable upon application. In no instance shall the filing of an application and payment of fees be construed as to exonerate the owner or managing agent of responsibility for compliance with the building, housing and maintenance requirements of any local, county, state or federal agency having jurisdiction. Each application shall include the following: (1) The information set forth in § 160-13(A) as is applicable in the discretion of the Director of Public Safety, and § 160-13(B) ; and (2) A copy of the latest deed to the property; and (3) Latest survey of the property, if available or a plot or schematic showing the size and location of the lot and all buildings and structures thereon; and (4) Government issued proof of residency of each owner with picture ID (driver's license, passport, etc.), and the address and contact number thereof; and (5) The name, address and contact number of the managing agent, if applicable; and (6) A signed and notarized certification in a form acceptable to the Director of Public Safety by each property owner or managing agent attesting to the total number of persons occupying each rental property or rental unit owned or managed by the registrant as of the date of registration; and (7) Location of the premises, the number of dwellings units located therein, and number of persons to be accommodated; and (8) A floor plan of each dwelling unit and the accommodations; and (9) Such other information and/or documentation deemed necessary by the Director of Public Safety. (D) Duty to amend. If the status of the information changes during the course of any calendar year, it is the responsibility of the owner or managing agent to submit such changes to the Department of Public Safety in writing within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such change. (E) Non-compliance. Failure of an owner or managing agent to secure a rental permit or to amend the information, or to do so within the period provided shall constitute a violation of this article.
