Section 127-3 of Ocean Beach, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 establishes a set of restrictions governing how dwelling units may be leased or rented within the village. Only households meeting the chapter's definition of 'family' may rent, and every lease must comply with both the village code and New York State law. Transient rentals are expressly prohibited, as are subleases without dual written approval from both the property owner and the Village of Ocean Beach, and any arrangement in which a tenant occupies only a portion of a dwelling unit rather than the whole.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-3, compliant operators in Ocean Beach ensure that every lease is offered only to a qualifying 'family' as defined in ch. 127, that the lease and the physical premises conform to all applicable village and state requirements, and that no transient or short-term rental arrangements are made. Landlords also keep rental applications current by filing an amendment—along with the applicable Board of Trustees fee—before any new tenant takes occupancy, and they provide written approval before any sublease can proceed. Maintaining accurate, up-to-date rental applications and avoiding partial-unit arrangements are central to operating within the bounds of this section.

Section 127-3 makes clear that tenants in Ocean Beach have a right to occupy the entire dwelling unit they lease, and that any sublease requires written consent from both the property owner and the Village of Ocean Beach before it can lawfully occur. Tenants should be aware that only individuals listed on the rental application under § 127-4 are authorized occupants, and that changes in tenancy require a formal application amendment before a new occupant moves in. Those with questions about whether a particular arrangement complies with ch. 127 may wish to contact the Village of Ocean Beach directly or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal housing regulations.
