Register of permits
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Official to maintain a register of the rental occupancy permits issued pursuant to this chapter. Such register shall be kept by Tax Map number, license number, receipt number and street address showing the name and address of the permittee, the number of rental dwelling units at such street address, the number of rooms in each such rental dwelling unit and the date that said rental occupancy permit expires for such unit.
Under Riverhead, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 263 § 263-10, the town's Code Enforcement Official is required to keep an organized register of all rental occupancy permits issued under the chapter. This register must be indexed by Tax Map number, license number, receipt number, and street address, and must record the permit holder's name and address, the number of rental dwelling units at each address, the number of rooms in each unit, and each permit's expiration date. The provision establishes a public administrative record-keeping obligation rather than imposing duties on landlords or tenants directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Landlords operating rental properties in Riverhead should be aware that, under § 263-10, the Code Enforcement Official maintains a formal register of all issued rental occupancy permits, organized by Tax Map number and street address among other identifiers. Compliant operators generally ensure that the information they provide when obtaining a permit—such as the number of dwelling units, the number of rooms per unit, and the permittee's name and address—is accurate, since that data feeds directly into the official register. Keeping personal records consistent with what is filed helps operators quickly verify or correct their entries in the town's register if discrepancies arise.
