What happens if you miss one
Missing a rental registration, license renewal, or inspection deadline in New York City, NY can mean late fees, fines, and in some cases being unable to lawfully lease the unit until you're back in compliance. Cities rarely send reminders — the obligation is on you as the owner.
Because cycles renew on different schedules (annual for some, every 2–3 years for others), it's easy for one to slip while you're watching another. That's the gap Landlord Shield 365 closes.
