New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-11
Additional criteria for granting of permits
Operative Text
A. Smoke detectors/carbon monoxide alarm. No permit shall be issued until the Code Enforcement Officer shall inspect the rental dwelling unit to determine that it is equipped with a functioning smoke-detector device and carbon monoxide alarm in compliance with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Residential Code of New York State. B. On-site parking. The premises shall provide the minimum on-site parking spaces as required by the Village Code. C. No rental permit shall be issued for a rental dwelling unit consisting of one room only unless such room shall provide a minimum clear floor area of 100 square feet.
New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-11 establishes three additional conditions that must be satisfied before a rental permit can be issued for a dwelling unit. The unit must have working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms that meet New York State fire and building code standards, the property must provide the minimum number of on-site parking spaces required by Village Code, and any single-room rental unit must contain at least 100 square feet of clear floor area. All three criteria must be met before the Code Enforcement Officer can approve and issue a rental permit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 196 § 196-11, operators seeking a rental permit in New Hyde Park generally ensure that every smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm in the unit is functional and compliant with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code before scheduling a Code Enforcement Officer inspection. Compliant operators also confirm that the property meets the Village Code's minimum on-site parking requirements and, if the rental consists of a single room, verify that the room provides at least 100 square feet of clear floor area. Addressing all three criteria before applying for a permit helps avoid delays or denial of the permit.

Section 196-11 of the New Hyde Park Code of Ordinances means that a landlord is legally required to obtain a rental permit only after a Code Enforcement Officer has verified working smoke and carbon monoxide detection, adequate parking, and—if applicable—a minimum room size of 100 square feet. Tenants who believe their unit was rented without a valid permit, or that required safety devices are absent, may consider contacting the Village's Code Enforcement Office to inquire about the unit's permit status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can also help residents understand what options may be available under this provision.
