Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 281 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 281-13
Revocation of permit; written notice; appeal
Operative Text
A. The Building Inspector shall revoke a rental occupancy permit where he or she finds that the permit holder has caused, permitted, suffered or allowed to exist and remain upon the premises for which such permit has been issued, for a period of 10 days or more after written notice has been given to the permit holder or the managing agent of such rental dwelling unit, a violation of the Multiple Residence Law , New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or this chapter or other chapter of the Village Code. Revocation of a permit under this subsection cannot be done by a delegate or assistant of the Building Inspector. Notice shall be deemed properly given if mailed via first-class United States mail to the address listed on the Village's tax records. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Village Board of Appeals.
Under Babylon Village Code ch. 281 § 281-13, the Building Inspector holds authority to revoke a rental occupancy permit when a permit holder has allowed a violation of the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or the Village Code to persist for 10 or more days after written notice was delivered. The revocation decision must be made personally by the Building Inspector and cannot be delegated to an assistant. A permit holder who disagrees with a revocation has the right to appeal the decision to the Village Board of Appeals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Babylon Village Code ch. 281 § 281-13 generally stay current on compliance with the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and local Village Code requirements, and act promptly when written notice of a violation is received. Because the 10-day window begins upon mailing of notice to the address on file in the Village's tax records, compliant operators keep that address current and treat any written notice as time-sensitive. Maintaining documentation of corrective actions taken in response to a notice can be important if a revocation is later contested before the Village Board of Appeals.

Under Babylon Village Code ch. 281 § 281-13, tenants living in a rental unit may have an interest in whether the property's rental occupancy permit remains valid, since a revocation can affect the legal status of the dwelling. If a tenant believes conditions on the premises violate the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or the Village Code, they may consider contacting the Babylon Village Building Inspector's office to report those conditions. Tenants seeking to understand how a permit revocation or an ongoing violation affects their rights may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with New York housing law.
