Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 78-12
Inspections
Operative Text
Premises licensed hereunder shall be inspected by the Police Department, Fire Department, Building Department or any other duly licensed agent of the Village at any reasonable time, and failure to permit such inspection to be made by the municipality shall be grounds for revocation of the license for said premises.
Under Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 § 78-12, rental premises that hold a village license are subject to inspection by the Police Department, Fire Department, Building Department, or another authorized village agent at any reasonable time. Refusing to allow such an inspection is treated as grounds for the village to revoke the premises' license. The provision establishes both the inspection authority and the consequence for non-cooperation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of licensed rental properties in Lynbrook should be aware that ch. 78 § 78-12 grants multiple village departments — including Police, Fire, and Building — the authority to inspect at any reasonable time. A compliant operator generally cooperates with inspection requests from authorized village agents and avoids any conduct that could be characterized as refusing access, since such refusal is explicitly listed as grounds for license revocation. Maintaining records of inspection visits and keeping the premises accessible during reasonable hours are practices consistent with compliance under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 78-12 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances requires that licensed rental premises remain open to village inspection, which means the property is subject to oversight by local departments including Building and Fire. Tenants who observe conditions that may warrant official attention can contact the relevant Lynbrook village department to inquire about an inspection. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can help residents understand how the inspection and licensing framework may relate to habitability concerns.
