Term of rental permits and renewals; compliance
Operative Text
A. A rental permit and renewal thereof shall be valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance unless sooner terminated. No permit or renewal thereof shall be issued unless the property is in compliance with all the provisions of the Code of the Town of Monroe, and meets the requirements of all applicable county, state and federal laws, codes, rules and regulations. B. Nothing in this article, except in the case of an emergency pursuant to § 23-23I or upon a warrant duly issued by a court of law, shall be deemed to authorize or require that the Town conduct an inspection of any property without the consent of the owner or managing agent, if the dwelling unit or units are unoccupied, and if occupied, with the consent of the occupant, owner or managing agent of the property. C. All printed or online advertisements of an available rental dwelling shall include the rental permit number.
Under Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 § 40-24, rental permits are valid for two years from issuance and may be renewed, but only when the property meets all applicable Town, county, state, and federal requirements. Town inspections generally require the consent of the owner, managing agent, or occupant, with narrow exceptions for emergencies or court-issued warrants. Additionally, any printed or online advertisement for a rental dwelling must display the permit number.

Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 § 40-24 establishes that a valid rental permit, renewed every two years, signals that a property has been reviewed for compliance with applicable codes and regulations. Tenants can check whether a rental advertisement includes a permit number as required, and the absence of one may indicate a compliance issue worth investigating. Those with concerns about permit status or code compliance may consider contacting the Town of Monroe's relevant code enforcement office or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
