Such application shall be filed and shall include the following: (1) The name, address and telephone number of the owner of the dwelling unit intended for rental occupancy. In the event that said dwelling unit is owned by more than one individual or entity, each owner's name, address and telephone number shall be provided. In the event that the owner of the dwelling unit intended for rental occupancy is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability company or other business entity, the name, address and telephone number of each owner, officer, principal, shareholder, partner and/or member of such business entity shall be provided. In the event that the owner has an authorized agent acting on his behalf, that person's name, address and telephone number shall also be provided. (2) Proof of residency of each owner. (3) The street address and Nassau County Tax Map designation (section, block and lot or lots) of the premises intended for rental occupancy or the premises in which the rental dwelling units intended for occupancy are located. (4) A description of the structure, including the number of rental dwelling units in the structure. (5) A floor plan depicting the location, use and dimension of each room situated within the dwelling unit. (6) The number of persons intended to be accommodated by, and to reside in, each such rental dwelling unit. (7) The name of each person who is and/or will be occupying the premises intended for rental occupancy. The name of each person who is and/or will be occupying the premises intended for rental occupancy shall not be required if said rental dwelling unit is a commercial hotel/motel business operating exclusively and catering to transient clientele, that is, customers who customarily reside at these establishments for short durations for the purpose of vacationing, travel, business, recreational activities, conventions, emergencies and other activities that are customary to a commercial hotel/motel operation. For the purposes of this article, a "short duration" shall be defined as not more than 21 consecutive days. (8) A copy of the most recent deed and real property tax bill, confirming the ownership of record of the dwelling unit. (9) A copy of the certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance for the dwelling unit. (10) A building permit application, properly prepared, for all proposed buildings, improvements and alterations to existing buildings on the premises, if any. (11) Each application shall be executed by and sworn to under oath by the owner of the dwelling unit. (12) If the owner or authorized agent of a dwelling unit resides or has his principal place of business located outside the Village of Island Park, he is required to designate an agent who resides in the Village of Island Park for the service of process of any notices set forth in this article or for the service of process of a violation of this article. The failure to provide the name and address of an agent for service of process shall be deemed a violation of this article. (13) A property survey of the premises drawn to scale not greater than 40 feet to one inch or, if not shown on the survey, a site plan, drawn to scale, showing all buildings, structures, walks, driveways and other physical features of the premises and the number, location and accessway for existing and proposed on-site vehicle parking facilities. If this property survey is not available, this requirement shall be waived. B. A new application for a rental occupancy permit shall be filed whenever a dwelling unit or portion thereof has become vacant and the owner intends to permit a new tenant or other person to take up residence. No additional fee will be required if the owner is registering a change in tenancy only under an existing valid rental occupancy permit. C. Each application for a rental occupancy permit shall be accompanied by an affidavit signed by each owner and tenant named in the application, confirming that they have received copies of all Village laws and ordinances affecting rentals, noise, vehicle parking restrictions on residential lots and refuse disposal and agree to abide by the same. D. Notwithstanding the above, no rental occupancy registration or permit shall be required for a residential care facility established under federal, New York State or Nassau County guidelines or for units where occupants are in an established care program.
Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 § 450-5 establishes the information and documentation that must accompany any application for a rental occupancy permit in the Village of Island Park. The application must be submitted in writing to the Village Clerk using an official Village form, and must include details about ownership, property identification, floor plans, occupant names, and supporting documents such as a deed, certificate of occupancy, and property survey. A new application is required each time a unit becomes vacant and a new tenant is set to move in, though no additional fee applies when only a change in tenancy is being recorded under an existing valid permit. Residential care facilities operating under federal, state, or Nassau County guidelines are exempt from this requirement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 § 450-5, compliant rental property operators obtain the official Village form from the Island Park Village Clerk and submit a fully completed application before allowing new occupancy. Operators generally ensure they have all required documents on hand — including a current deed, tax bill, certificate of occupancy, floor plan, property survey, and a list of all intended occupants — and that the application is sworn to under oath. Owners or agents whose primary residence or business is outside the Village of Island Park are also expected to designate a local in-Village agent for service of process, as failure to do so is itself treated as a violation under this article.
