Kings Point, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 122 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 122-11
Broker's responsibility prior to listing
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful for any real estate broker or agent to list, show, or otherwise offer for rent any dwelling unit for which a current rental occupancy permit has not been issued by the Superintendent. It shall be both the broker and the agent's responsibility to verify the existence of a current rental occupancy permit before offering any dwelling unit for rental. In the event that a real estate broker and/or agent is convicted of a violation of this section, the Superintendent shall transmit a record of such conviction to the Division of Licensing Services of the Department of State and to make complaint thereto against such real estate broker and/or agent on behalf of the Village.
Section 122-11 of the Kings Point Code of Ordinances prohibits real estate brokers and agents from listing, showing, or otherwise offering a dwelling unit for rent unless a current rental occupancy permit has been issued by the Superintendent. Both the broker and the agent share responsibility for confirming that a valid permit exists before any rental offering is made. A conviction under this section triggers a mandatory referral by the Superintendent to the New York State Department of State's Division of Licensing Services, which can affect a broker's or agent's professional license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 122-11, property owners who work with real estate brokers or agents to rent their dwelling units should be aware that those professionals are legally required to verify the existence of a current rental occupancy permit before listing or showing the unit. Compliant operators typically ensure that a valid permit issued by the Superintendent is in place and readily available to any broker or agent engaged to market the property. Keeping permit documentation current and accessible helps facilitate a smooth rental process and supports the broker's or agent's ability to meet their own obligations under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 122-11 establishes that any dwelling unit offered for rent in Kings Point must have a current rental occupancy permit issued by the Superintendent at the time it is listed or shown. Prospective tenants may ask a broker, agent, or landlord to confirm that such a permit exists before entering into any rental agreement. If a unit was marketed without a valid permit, that fact may be relevant to a complaint or inquiry directed to the Village of Kings Point or, given the licensing referral mechanism in § 122-11, to the New York State Department of State's Division of Licensing Services; a tenant-rights organization can help identify appropriate next steps.
