Town of Babylon requires a Rental Occupancy Permit for all rental dwellings under Town Code Chapter 153. Inspections are mandatory every two years and the fee is set annually by the Town Board. Operating a rental without a permit is a violation.
Chapter 153 of the Town of Babylon Code requires every owner of a rental dwelling to obtain a Rental Occupancy Permit from the Department of Consumer Protection before renting. The permit is valid for two years, and an inspection by a Town inspector is required at issuance and renewal to verify compliance with the Property Maintenance Code, Fire Code, and maximum occupancy limits. Landlords must post the permit in the dwelling and provide a copy to tenants.
Operating an unpermitted rental can result in fines of up to 2,000 dollars per offense and potential vacate orders. Each day of operation without a permit can be charged as a separate violation.
