The Code Enforcement Official shall review each application for completeness and accuracy. The Code Enforcement Official shall also review all available information to confirm that the rental property and all rental dwelling units thereon are in compliance with the Town Code or the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code at the time the application is made. The application shall be accepted and a certificate of registration shall be issued if, based on all such available information, such application is found to be complete and accurate and if, based on all such available information, the rental property and all rental dwelling units thereon are in compliance with the Town Code or the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Applications shall be rejected if they are deemed to be incomplete or inaccurate in any way or if the rental property and all rental dwelling units thereon are determined to not be in compliance with the Town Code or the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Notice to the owner of acceptance or rejection of the application shall be made in writing.
Under Irondequoit Code ch. 177 § 177-8, the Code Enforcement Official is required to examine every rental registration application for completeness and accuracy, and to verify that the property and all its dwelling units comply with both the Town Code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code at the time of application. If the application meets all requirements and the property is in compliance, a certificate of registration is issued; if either condition is not met, the application is rejected. In either case, the property owner receives written notice of the decision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 177-8, a compliant rental property operator submits a registration application that is fully complete and accurate, and ensures that the property and every dwelling unit on it satisfy both the Town Code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code before applying. Operators generally conduct a pre-application review of their properties to identify and resolve any outstanding code issues, since an unresolved violation or an incomplete form will result in a written rejection notice. Maintaining organized records of prior inspections and code-compliance documentation can support a smooth review process.

Section 177-8 establishes that rental properties in Irondequoit must pass a code-compliance review before a certificate of registration is issued, meaning tenants can be aware that a registered property has been evaluated against the Town Code and the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. If a tenant has concerns about whether a rental property holds a valid certificate of registration or about underlying code conditions, they may contact the Irondequoit Code Enforcement office to inquire about a property's registration status.
