Woodstock Title 4 Ch. 13 Performance-Based Property Management Program § 4.13.10
CONSEQUENCES OF PERMIT REVOCATION OR DENIAL
Operative Text
A. In the event that a permit is revoked or denied, it shall be unlawful for the rental unit owner (or any affiliated entity) to thereafter permit any new occupancies of any vacant or subsequently vacated rental units or any newly acquired rental units until such time as a valid permit has been obtained by the rental unit owner. B. If in the judgment of the City's Building and Zoning Director it is in the public's interest or the interest of tenants of the rental unit owner (or affiliated entity), the Building and Zoning Director may, but is not required to, permit a rental unit owner (or affiliated entity) who has failed to obtain a permit to continue to operate other rental units owned or controlled by the rental unit owner (or affiliated entity) if those units have been inspected and found to be operating in compliance with City Codes. However, all such other rental units are subject to regular inspection by the City until such time as the rental unit owner's permit has been obtained and any applicable other requirements of this chapter have been met. C. Permits that have been revoked or denied will not be reinstated until the rental unit owner has applied for and secured a new permit that satisfies all terms of this chapter, including any conditions imposed at the time of revocation or denial, and any terms of any action plan imposed by the City. D. In the event that a rental unit is required to be vacated under this chapter, the City also shall post notices on all entrances to the affected rental unit(s) stating that the rental unit must be vacated within sixty (60) days if the Building and Zoning Director has determined that the violation(s) do not place the tenant in imminent danger of harm. If, however, the Building and Zoning Director determines that the violations do place the tenant in imminent danger of harm, the Building and Zoning Director shall order the rental unit vacated immediately. E. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to modify or supersede any of the City's code provisions, including its Building and Fire Safety Codes and any water service rules, nor shall it prevent the City from issuing citations or "red tagging" a property and prohibiting occupancy under any of those Code provisions when life safety issues are present in a rental unit property. (Ord. 22-O-46, 9-6-2022)
Woodstock Title 4 Ch. 13 § 4.13.10 establishes what happens when a rental property permit is revoked or denied under the city's Performance-Based Property Management Program. Once a permit is revoked or denied, no new tenants may move into any vacant, subsequently vacated, or newly acquired units until a valid permit is reinstated. If a unit must be vacated, residents are given at least 60 days' notice unless the Building and Zoning Director determines there is an imminent danger of harm, in which case immediate vacation can be ordered. The provision also preserves the city's authority to act under its Building, Fire Safety, and other codes independently of this chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 4.13.10, a rental unit owner whose permit has been revoked or denied must stop accepting new occupancies across all affected units until a valid permit is secured. Compliant operators typically apply promptly for a new permit, satisfy all conditions imposed at the time of revocation or denial, and fulfill any action plan required by the City. The Building and Zoning Director may allow continued operation of other units owned by the same operator if those units have passed inspection and are code-compliant, but those units remain subject to regular City inspections until the permit situation is fully resolved.

Section § 4.13.10 provides important protections for tenants when a landlord's permit is revoked or denied in Woodstock. If a unit must be vacated, tenants are generally entitled to at least 60 days' notice posted on the unit's entrances, unless the Building and Zoning Director finds an imminent danger of harm, which can trigger an immediate vacation order. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating without a valid permit or who have received a vacation notice may contact the City's Building and Zoning Department or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand the options available to them under this chapter.
