Under Sleepy Hollow Code ch. 139 § 139-3, operators of rooming houses or boardinghouses are expected to secure a permit from the Village of Sleepy Hollow's Board of Trustees before accepting any paying lodgers. Compliant operators typically apply for and maintain this permit on an ongoing basis, ensuring it remains current before any accommodations are offered for hire. Operating without this permit exposes a property to potential enforcement action by the Village.

Section 139-3 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances gives tenants in rooming houses and boardinghouses the assurance that their lodging facility is required to hold a Village-issued permit. If a tenant has reason to believe their rooming house or boardinghouse is operating without the required permit from the Board of Trustees, they may consider contacting the Village of Sleepy Hollow directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. The permit requirement exists as a baseline protection, and its absence may be relevant in disputes concerning the legitimacy of the rental arrangement.
