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 Incorporated Village of Farmingdale 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 Incorporated Village of Farmingdale's tax records. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale Board of Zoning Appeals.
Under Farmingdale, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 433 § 433-13, 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 applicable Village of Farmingdale ordinances to persist for 10 or more days after written notice has been 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 to the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale Board of Zoning Appeals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 433-13, operators of rental dwelling units in Farmingdale are expected to address any cited violations of state or local housing and fire codes promptly upon receiving written notice — the provision sets a 10-day window before the Building Inspector may move to revoke the rental occupancy permit. Compliant operators generally maintain current contact information in the Village's tax records, since first-class mail to that address constitutes legally sufficient notice. Landlords who receive a revocation decision should be aware that § 433-13(B) provides a formal appeal pathway through the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale Board of Zoning Appeals.

Section 433-13 establishes that a rental occupancy permit can be revoked when a landlord fails to correct housing, fire, or building code violations within 10 days of written notice, which may be relevant to tenants living in units with unresolved conditions. Tenants who believe their unit has ongoing code violations may consider contacting the Farmingdale Building Inspector's office to inquire about the status of any outstanding notices or permits. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help tenants understand how a permit revocation under § 433-13 might interact with their occupancy rights and what options may be available to them.
