Mineola, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 414 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 414-5
Permit required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any person or entity who owns a dwelling unit in a mixed-occupancy building and in a multiple dwelling to establish, maintain, use, let, lease, rent or suffer or permit the occupancy and use thereof as a rental occupancy without having first obtained a valid permit for such rental occupancy from the Building Department of the Village as herein provided.
Section 414-5 of Mineola's Code of Ordinances makes it a violation for any owner of a dwelling unit in a mixed-occupancy or multiple dwelling building to rent out that unit without first holding a valid rental occupancy permit issued by the Village's Building Department. The rule applies at every stage of the rental relationship — from initially setting up the tenancy through ongoing maintenance and use of the unit as a rental. No rental occupancy of a covered unit is lawful unless the required permit is in place before the tenancy begins.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 414-5, operators of dwelling units in mixed-occupancy or multiple dwelling buildings in Mineola are expected to secure a valid rental occupancy permit from the Village Building Department before any tenant moves in or any rental arrangement is established. Compliant property managers typically keep their permits current, ensure renewals are obtained on schedule, and confirm permit validity before executing any new lease. Allowing a unit to be occupied as a rental without this permit constitutes a violation of Chapter 414 regardless of whether rent is actively being collected.

Section 414-5 establishes that a landlord must hold a valid rental occupancy permit from the Mineola Village Building Department before lawfully renting a unit in a mixed-occupancy or multiple dwelling building. Tenants who have reason to believe their unit is being rented without such a permit may inquire directly with the Village Building Department to verify permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Mineola's local ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be operating in violation of Chapter 414.
