Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 78 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 78-13
Adequacy of accommodations
Operative Text
In addition to filing the application as required in this chapter, the Mayor or the Board of Trustees shall cause inquiry to be made by the Building Superintendent or any other duly designated agent as to the physical characteristics and appurtenances of the building for which such license is sought. If such inspection discloses that the licensed premises are inadequate under this chapter or are of such nature as to be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the occupants thereof or of the community at large, the license shall not be granted or, if granted, shall be revoked. Inspection of licensed premises may be made at any time, and failure to permit such inspection shall cause such license to be revoked.
Section 78-13 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances establishes that rental premises must meet physical adequacy standards and must not pose risks to the health, safety, or general welfare of occupants or the broader community. Before a rental license is issued, an inspection is conducted by the Building Superintendent or another designated agent, and the license can be denied or revoked if the premises fall short of those standards. Ongoing inspections are permitted at any time, and a refusal to allow an inspection is itself grounds for license revocation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 78-13, compliant operators in Lynbrook generally maintain their rental properties in a condition that meets the physical adequacy requirements of Chapter 78 and does not endanger the health, safety, or welfare of occupants or the surrounding community. Operators typically cooperate with inspections conducted by the Building Superintendent or other designated agents, since denying access to an inspection is an independent basis for license revocation under this section. Keeping records of maintenance, repairs, and prior inspections can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with the adequacy standards referenced in § 78-13.

Section 78-13 gives tenants in Lynbrook a basis to raise concerns if their rental unit may be physically inadequate or detrimental to health, safety, or general welfare, since those conditions can trigger denial or revocation of the landlord's rental license. Tenants who believe their building does not meet the standards described in this provision may consider contacting the Village of Lynbrook's Building Department to request an inquiry or inspection. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can help explain what options are generally available under Chapter 78 and how the inspection and licensing process works.
