Rules and regulations
Operative Text
The Building Commissioner shall develop and implement rules and regulations necessary to implement this chapter. These rules and regulations shall include, at a minimum: A. Forms for applications for multiple residence licenses. B. Inspection procedures. C. Production and regular maintenance of a listing of all multiple residences within the Town of North Hempstead. D.

Section 8-13 of the North Hempstead Code of Ordinances directs the Building Commissioner to create and put into effect the administrative rules needed to carry out the multiple residence licensing chapter. At a minimum, those rules must cover application forms, inspection procedures, a maintained registry of all multiple residences in the town, and a file-review plan to be launched within 90 days of the ordinance's enactment. The provision establishes the administrative framework that supports the broader licensing and oversight system for multi-family housing in North Hempstead.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under North Hempstead Code ch. 8 § 8-13, the Building Commissioner is responsible for issuing the official application forms that operators of multiple residences must use to obtain licenses. Compliant property owners and managers generally stay current with the forms, inspection procedures, and any updates to the rules as the Commissioner develops and revises them. Keeping records aligned with the town's maintained listing of multiple residences is part of operating within the framework this section establishes.

North Hempstead Code ch. 8 § 8-13 requires the town to maintain an active registry of all multiple residences and to keep building files current, which means tenants have a basis to expect that their building is properly documented and subject to inspection procedures. If a tenant believes their building is unlicensed or that required inspections are not being conducted, they may raise that concern with the Building Commissioner's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing regulations. The file-review and registry requirements created by this section can also be relevant context when raising a housing-condition or licensing issue as a defense or complaint.
