Inspections
Operative Text
Upon the filing of all required information, forms and fees, the Building Commissioner shall, under the powers granted him by § 303, Subdivision 3, of the New York State Multiple Residence Law , inspect the premises to be licensed to determine whether or not it is in compliance with the Uniform Code, the New York State Multiple Residence Law and all applicable sections of the Code of the Town of North Hempstead.
Under North Hempstead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 8 § 8-7, once a property owner submits all required paperwork and fees for a rental license, the Building Commissioner is obligated to inspect the premises. The inspection is conducted to verify that the property meets the Uniform Code, the New York State Multiple Residence Law, and all relevant local Town of North Hempstead ordinances. This step is a mandatory part of the licensing process and is not discretionary once the submission is complete.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 8 § 8-7, compliant operators ensure that all required forms, information, and fees are submitted in full before expecting an inspection to be scheduled. Property managers generally keep their premises in conformance with the Uniform Code, the New York State Multiple Residence Law, and applicable Town of North Hempstead code provisions so that the Building Commissioner's inspection can be completed without deficiencies. Maintaining organized records of prior inspections and any corrective actions taken can help demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Section 8-7 of the North Hempstead Code establishes that rental premises must be inspected by the Building Commissioner as part of the licensing process, meaning a landlord's property should have passed review under the Uniform Code and the New York State Multiple Residence Law before being licensed. Tenants who have concerns about whether a rental unit has been properly inspected or licensed may contact the Town of North Hempstead Building Department to inquire about a property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can also help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available when a property appears to be operating without a valid license.
