Section 264-2 of the Rockville Centre Code of Ordinances establishes the process by which rental dwelling units must be registered with the Village. Owners or their agents must submit a written application to the Superintendent of the Building Department using a Village-provided form, supplying details such as ownership information, unit counts, certificate of occupancy status, emergency contact information, and disclosure of any open building permits. A fee set by the Board of Trustees must accompany the application, and the form must be signed by the owner—and the applicant, if different—attesting to the accuracy of all information provided.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 264-2, operators of rental dwelling units in Rockville Centre generally obtain the required registration and permit by completing the Village's official application form and submitting it to the Superintendent of the Building Department. Compliant operators typically gather all required documentation in advance, including proof of a valid certificate of occupancy (or confirmation that none is required), a designated emergency contact, and disclosure of any open building permits on the property. The application must be signed by the property owner and accompanied by the applicable fee as set by Board of Trustees resolution.

Section 264-2 requires that rental units in Rockville Centre be registered and permitted through the Village's Building Department, which means tenants can look to this provision as a baseline expectation that their landlord has complied with local registration requirements. If a tenant has reason to believe a unit is not properly registered or lacks a valid certificate of occupancy as required under § 264-2, they may consider contacting the Village's Building Department to inquire about the unit's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord has not met these registration obligations.
