All rental dwellings in Islip including STRs must be registered via the Chapter 52 rental permit system with the Division of Building. Registration includes owner contact, local agent designation if owner lives outside Suffolk County, and inspection certification.
Rental permit application requires the property address, owner name and address, designated managing agent within Suffolk County if the owner lives more than a set distance away, number of units and bedrooms, and a sworn statement of compliance with building and fire codes. Registration records are public and Islip cross-references rental permit data with STR listings on Airbnb and Vrbo to identify unregistered hosts. Enforcement officers regularly issue citations to unregistered listings.
Unregistered rentals face fines of 500-5,000 dollars per violation and potential court orders to cease rental activity until registration is completed.
