A. Application for a Rental Occupancy registration for a Rental Dwelling Unit shall be made in writing to the Village on a form provided by the Village for that purpose. B. The application shall be filed in duplicate, or digitally if provided for by the Village, and shall contain: (1) The name, address, email addresses, and telephone numbers, if any, of the Owner of the Dwelling Unit intended for Rental Occupancy. (2) The street address and tax map description (section, block, and lot or lots) of the premises intended for Rental Occupancy or the premises in which the Rental Dwelling unit intended for occupancy is located. (3) The number of persons under and over the age of 18 and the dates of birth of each person residing in or occupying such premises intended for Rental Occupancy. (4) The name, address, email addresses, and telephone numbers, if any, of the managing agent or operator of each such intended Rental Dwelling Unit.

No application will be accepted without the submission of a valid certificate of occupancy.
Section 127-5 of the Sands Point Code of Ordinances establishes the formal process by which a rental dwelling unit must be registered with the Village before it can be lawfully occupied as a rental. The application must be submitted in writing (or digitally if the Village permits) on an official Village form, and must include detailed information about the owner, the property, the occupants, and any managing agent. Supporting documents—including a copy of any open building permits or permit applications and a valid certificate of occupancy—are required attachments, and no application will be accepted without that certificate of occupancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 127-5, property owners in Sands Point who intend to rent a dwelling unit are generally expected to complete and file the Village's official Rental Occupancy Registration form before the unit is occupied as a rental. Compliant operators typically gather all required information in advance—owner contact details, property tax map descriptions, occupant ages and dates of birth, managing agent information, open building permit copies, and a valid certificate of occupancy—since the Village will not accept an application without that certificate. Because the application must be signed and verified under oath by the owner, operators commonly ensure the accuracy of all submitted information before filing.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 127-5 of the Sands Point Code of Ordinances requires that any rental dwelling unit be formally registered with the Village, which means a landlord should have a valid Rental Occupancy Registration on file before you occupy the unit. Tenants can inquire with the Village to confirm whether a registration exists for their unit and whether a valid certificate of occupancy was submitted as part of that registration. If you have concerns about whether your unit is properly registered, tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney familiar with Nassau County regulations can help you understand what options may be available.
