Irondequoit, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 177 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 177-4
Rental occupancy registration required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any owner of any rental property or rental dwelling unit in the Town to establish, maintain, use, let, lease, rent or suffer or permit the occupancy and use thereof as a rental occupancy without first obtaining and thereafter maintaining in full force and effect a certificate of registration from the Town, as herein provided.
Section 177-4 of Irondequoit's Code of Ordinances establishes that operating a rental property in the Town without a valid, current certificate of registration is unlawful. The rule applies at every stage of the rental relationship — from initially setting up a rental arrangement through ongoing occupancy — and requires the registration to remain continuously in effect, not just be obtained once. Any owner who allows a unit to be occupied as a rental without this certificate is considered in violation of Chapter 177.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 177-4, a compliant rental property owner in Irondequoit secures a certificate of registration from the Town before any tenant occupancy begins and keeps that certificate active and in good standing for as long as the property is used as a rental. Operators generally track renewal deadlines and update registration records whenever ownership or property details change to avoid a lapse. Allowing a unit to be occupied — even informally — without a current certificate constitutes a violation of Chapter 177.

Section 177-4 gives tenants in Irondequoit a basis to check whether their landlord holds a valid certificate of registration for the rental unit, since operating without one is a violation of Chapter 177. If a landlord appears to lack current registration, tenants may raise this as a concern with the Town of Irondequoit directly or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or defenses may be available. Awareness of this registration requirement can be relevant in disputes about habitability, lease enforcement, or other rental issues governed by Chapter 177.
