Under ch. 261 § 261-4, compliant operators submit a written certificate-of-occupancy application to the Valatie Code Enforcement Official at Village Hall before renting or re-renting a unit. Operators who keep the premises accessible for inspection at the time scheduled by the Code Enforcement Official help ensure the eight-day review period runs without interruption. If the property is unavailable at the scheduled inspection time, the eight-day clock is paused, which can delay the issuance of the certificate.
