Glen Cove Chapter 111 requires building permits for most renovation work including structural changes, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and substantial cosmetic work. The Building Department issues Certificates of Occupancy after final inspection.
Routine maintenance (painting, flooring, minor cabinetry) generally does not require a permit, but anything affecting structure, mechanical systems or building envelope does. Renovations in pre-1978 housing must follow EPA RRP rules for lead-safe work practices. Substantial improvements - those costing 50% or more of pre-improvement market value - trigger full code compliance, including flood-elevation for properties in SFHAs. The Landlord Registry inspection requires permits to be closed and COs current.
Unpermitted work is a Chapter 111 violation enforceable under § 1-15 (up to $1,000 / 15 days). Future sales require disclosure and may require legalization permits with retroactive inspections.
