Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 108-9
Register of permits
Operative Text
It shall be the duty of the Building Department to maintain a register of permits issued pursuant to this chapter. Such register shall be kept by Tax Map number, license number, receipt number, and street address, showing the name and address of the permittee, the number of rental units at such street address, the number of rooms in each such rental unit, and the date of expiration of permit for such unit.
Under Southeast, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 108 § 108-9, the Building Department is required to maintain a formal register of all rental-unit permits it issues. This register must be organized by Tax Map number, license number, receipt number, and street address, and must record details such as the permittee's name and address, the number of rental units and rooms at each address, and each permit's expiration date. The provision establishes a public administrative record-keeping obligation rather than imposing duties directly on landlords or tenants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 108-9, the Building Department tracks each permit it issues, meaning that a compliant operator's permit information—including property address, number of rental units, room counts, and expiration dates—will appear in the official register. Property owners and managers generally ensure that the information they provide when obtaining a permit is accurate and current, since that data feeds directly into the register. Keeping track of permit expiration dates is a routine part of compliance, as the register itself reflects when each unit's permit is set to expire.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 108-9 of Southeast's Code of Ordinances requires the Building Department to keep a searchable register of rental permits, organized by address and other identifiers. This means tenants can potentially inquire with the Building Department to verify whether a rental unit at a given address holds a valid permit and when it expires. Tenant-rights organizations can help explain how access to this register may be relevant to a housing situation, and any discrepancies found in the register could be worth raising with the appropriate local authority.
