Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 450-10
Authorization for inspections
Operative Text
The code enforcement official is authorized to make, or cause to be made, inspections as provided for in this article to determine the condition of rental dwelling units to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the public. The code enforcement official is authorized to enter, upon consent of the owner if the unit is unoccupied, or upon consent of the occupant if the unit is occupied, any rental dwelling unit and the premises in which the same is located, at any reasonable time, or at such other time as may be necessary in an emergency, without consent of the owner, authorized agent and/or tenant for the purpose of performing his duties under this article.
Island Park Code of Ordinances ch. 450 § 450-10 authorizes the village's code enforcement official to inspect rental dwelling units in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare. For occupied units, the occupant's consent is generally required before entry; for vacant units, the owner's consent is needed. In genuine emergencies, the code enforcement official may enter without anyone's consent.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 450-10, a compliant property owner or manager typically cooperates with the code enforcement official's requests to inspect vacant rental units by providing consent at a reasonable time. Operators generally keep contact information current so that inspection scheduling can proceed smoothly and without delay. Being responsive to inspection requests helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with Island Park's rental dwelling standards.

Section 450-10 establishes that, when a rental unit is occupied, the code enforcement official must ordinarily obtain the occupant's consent before entering — meaning tenants have a recognized role in controlling access outside of emergencies. Tenants who believe an entry was made improperly under this provision may raise that concern with the Island Park code enforcement office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal law. Keeping a written record of any inspection notices or entry attempts can be useful when seeking clarification about rights under § 450-10.
