Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 287-9
Rental registration required
Operative Text
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter and an offense within the meaning of the Penal Law of the State of New York for any owner to permit any tenant or other person, excluding immediate family, to take up residence by a rental occupancy in any dwelling unit without the owner's first having completed and filed with the Building Department a rental registration form approved by the Code Enforcement Officer. A new form must be filed whenever a dwelling unit or portion thereof has become vacant, and the owner intends to permit a new tenant or other person to take up residence. No additional fee will be required if registering a change in tenancy only, under an existing valid permit.
Under Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 § 287-9, property owners are prohibited from allowing any non-family tenant or occupant to move into a rental dwelling unit unless a rental registration form has first been completed and filed with the Building Department. A new registration form is required each time a unit becomes vacant and the owner plans to bring in a new occupant. Changing tenants under an existing valid permit does not trigger an additional filing fee, though a new form is still required.

Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 § 287-9 places the registration obligation squarely on property owners before any new non-family rental occupancy begins. Compliant operators generally maintain a practice of submitting a Building Department-approved rental registration form — obtained from the Code Enforcement Officer — prior to each new tenancy, including after any vacancy. When only the tenant changes under an existing valid permit, operators typically file the updated form without incurring an additional fee.

Under Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 § 287-9, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their landlord has properly registered the rental unit with the Building Department before their occupancy began. If a landlord has not filed the required registration form, that failure constitutes a violation of the chapter and may be relevant in housing-related proceedings. Tenants who have questions about whether their unit is properly registered may contact the Sloatsburg Building Department or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
