Rye Brook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 192-10
Display of license
Operative Text
Every licensee shall immediately display such license and keep it on display while in force in a conspicuous place in the rooming house. It is unlawful to deface, mutilate or destroy said license, and such an act will be deemed a violation of this chapter and be punishable as provided in § 1-17 of Chapter 1 , General Provisions.
Under Rye Brook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 192 § 192-10, any rooming house that holds an operating license is required to post that license in a clearly visible location on the premises for as long as the license remains valid. The provision also makes it unlawful to deface, mutilate, or destroy the license, treating such acts as a chapter violation subject to the penalties set out in § 1-17 of Chapter 1, General Provisions. The rule is designed to ensure that the license is accessible for inspection by residents, officials, or other interested parties at any time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses subject to ch. 192 § 192-10 generally post the current license in a prominent, easily seen location—such as a common entryway or lobby—as soon as it is issued and keep it there without interruption until it expires or is renewed. Compliant operators take care to preserve the physical integrity of the posted license, since defacing, mutilating, or destroying it constitutes a separate violation under this section. Maintaining a clean, undamaged display and replacing any accidentally damaged license promptly are practices consistent with the requirements of § 192-10.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of a rooming house covered by ch. 192 § 192-10 have an interest in knowing that a valid license should be visibly posted in a conspicuous place on the premises at all times. If a license is absent, hidden, or appears to have been defaced or destroyed, that condition may itself constitute a violation of this chapter, punishable under § 1-17 of Chapter 1, General Provisions. Tenants who believe a violation exists may consider contacting the relevant Rye Brook municipal or code-enforcement office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
