Rental Registration Inspections

Pursuant to the umbrella of International Codes with New York State modifications and applicable chapters of the City Charter, the Department of Permit & Inspection Services (DPIS) responds to complaints or concerns to determine if properties are in compliance with the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and City ordinances. Appropriate response is taken (i.e. no cause for action, letter of violation, referral to the appropriate agency, etc.) as a result of what the inspector finds at the property.

Rental registration cases do not necessarily arise through a complaint (although they can). They are simply scheduled inspections that take place as the inspectors try and hit all locations in the city over time. If the inspection on the case is passed, the property was in rental compliance at that time and would receive a Certificate of Rental Compliance (CRC).
