Term and registration of permits
Operative Text
A. All permits issued pursuant to this chapter shall be valid for a period of up to one year from date of issuance. B. If rental dwelling property's ownership is transferred, the new owner of the property must notify the Village and complete a new application permit, if such property is to be rented. Rental permits are not transferable or assignable. C. It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to maintain a register of permits issued pursuant to this chapter. Such register shall be kept by street address, showing the name and address of the permittee, the number of rental dwelling units at such street address, the number of rooms in each such rental dwelling unit and the date of expiration of permit for such unit.
Under Lake Grove, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 § 127-5, rental dwelling permits are valid for up to one year from the date they are issued and cannot be transferred or assigned to another party. When a rental property changes ownership, the new owner must notify the Village and submit a fresh permit application before continuing to rent the property. The Village Clerk is required to maintain a public register of all issued permits, organized by street address and including details such as the permittee's name, the number of units, the number of rooms per unit, and each permit's expiration date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental properties in Lake Grove should be aware that under § 127-5, each rental permit expires within one year of issuance and must be renewed on that cycle — it cannot simply be passed along to a new owner. When a rental property is sold or otherwise transferred, the incoming owner bears the responsibility of notifying the Village and completing a new permit application before placing or continuing tenants in the property. Compliant operators generally track their permit expiration dates proactively and initiate the renewal or new-application process well before the deadline to avoid any lapse in permitted status.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 127-5 of Lake Grove's Code of Ordinances establishes that every rental dwelling permit is tied to a specific owner and expires within one year, meaning tenants can look up their unit's permit status in the register maintained by the Village Clerk. If a rental property is sold, the new owner is required to obtain a fresh permit before continuing to rent the unit, which means a change in ownership does not automatically authorize continued rental activity. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit holds a valid, current permit may contact the Village Clerk's office to review the register, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on what options may be available.
