Under ch. 138 § 138-9, compliant rental property operators in Islandia generally ensure that their permit information—including their name, address, and the details of their rental dwelling—is accurately reflected in the Building Department's register. Because the register is public record, keeping permit applications current and renewing permits before their expiration date helps ensure the register accurately represents the property's status. Operators typically monitor expiration dates shown in the register to avoid lapses that could be visible to inspectors or the public.
