Binghamton requires rental registration and biennial inspections under City Code Ch. 325 (Housing). County towns (Vestal, Union, Conklin) enforce NY Property Maintenance Code but lack countywide rental registry.
Binghamton Code Ch. 325 (Certificate of Compliance) requires owners of 1-4 unit rental properties to register and obtain a biennial Certificate of Compliance. Registration fee typically $75-$150/unit. Inspections verify smoke/CO detectors, egress, heat, plumbing, and structure per NY PMC. Student-rental-heavy districts near Binghamton University face enhanced scrutiny. Johnson City and Endicott have their own rental registration/inspection programs. Vestal and Union do not maintain rental registries but enforce NY Uniform Code 19 NYCRR 1219/1226 on complaint. Failure to register/inspect bars rent collection in Binghamton.
Renting without certificate: $250-$1,000 per month plus inability to evict for nonpayment (Binghamton Ch. 325).
