Operative Text
A. Owner's responsibility. It shall be unlawful for any owner of a single-family, two-family or multiple dwelling to rent or lease or offer to rent or lease or for any person to construct or convert for use or to use, occupy or maintain any second or subsequent separate dwelling unit within such dwelling, without first completing and filing with the Village Clerk a rental registration form to be provided and approved by the Superintendent of Buildings. It shall be the responsibility of said Superintendent to verify that the dwelling unit to be rented or offered for rent complies with Chapter 195 , Zoning, and Chapter 57 , Building Construction, of the Village Code of the Village of New Hyde Park. B. Real estate broker's responsibility. It shall be unlawful for any real estate broker or sales agent to list, show or otherwise offer for lease, rent or sale on behalf of the owner(s) any dwelling unit for which a required rental registration form has not been approved by the Superintendent of Buildings and filed with the Village Clerk. Before any real estate broker or sales agent lists, shows or otherwise offers for lease, rent or sale any dwelling unit, such broker or agent shall obtain a copy of the owner's rental registration form from the Village Clerk, shall keep such form on file in his/her office and shall show the same to all prospective purchasers, lessees or tenants of the dwelling unit.
New Hyde Park Code ch. 147 § 147-3 requires that before any rental dwelling unit is rented, offered for rent, constructed, or converted for rental use, the owner must file a completed rental registration form with the Village Clerk, which must be approved by the Superintendent of Buildings. The Superintendent is responsible for verifying that the unit complies with the Village's Zoning and Building Construction codes. Real estate brokers and agents are also prohibited from listing, showing, or marketing any rental unit unless the required registration form has been approved and filed, and they must keep a copy on file and share it with prospective tenants or buyers.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under New Hyde Park Code ch. 147 § 147-3, compliant property owners obtain approval of a rental registration form from the Superintendent of Buildings and file it with the Village Clerk before renting or offering any dwelling unit for rent. Owners of single-family, two-family, or multiple dwellings typically ensure this registration is in place prior to any listing or leasing activity, and they make the approved form available to any real estate broker or agent they engage. Keeping registration current and on file helps demonstrate that the unit meets the Village's zoning and building construction requirements.

New Hyde Park Code ch. 147 § 147-3 establishes that any dwelling unit offered for rent should have an approved rental registration form on file with the Village Clerk before it is listed or leased. Prospective tenants have the right to ask a real estate broker or agent to show them a copy of this registration form, as brokers are required to keep it on file and present it upon request. If a unit appears to lack the required registration, tenants may contact the Village Clerk's office or the Superintendent of Buildings to inquire about compliance, or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
