Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-39
Written notice
Operative Text
Written notice of the Town's intention to revoke a permit shall be served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and by regular mail, to the applicant at the address shown on the application. If the notice is returned by the Post Office as undeliverable for any reason, as long as it was properly addressed, service of the notice shall be valid. Said notice shall state that the applicant is entitled to be represented by legal counsel at the hearing and may present the testimony of witnesses and such other evidence in his or her own behalf as may be deemed relevant or necessary. (A) Error or Fraudulent Practices. In the event the permit was issued in error or as a result of a false or misleading statement, submission or certification, the notice shall identify the error, omission, false or misleading statement or submission at issue; the date, time and place of the administrative hearing to be held before an Administrative Hearing Officer to revoke the rental permit; and a statement that upon the applicant's failure to appear for the administrative hearing, then in such event the rental permit shall be automatically revoked. (B) Amendment, modification or withdrawal. The code officer may amend, modify or withdraw any notice issued if, in his or her judgment, the circumstances warrant such action provided the amended or modified notice is served in the same manner as the original notice within five (5) days of mailing the original notice, and a hearing has not occurred, except that a notice may be withdrawn in its entirety and not reissued at any time.
Section 160-39 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 establishes the procedural requirements that must be followed before the Town can revoke a rental permit. The Town must send written notice by both registered or certified mail (with return receipt) and regular mail to the address on the permit application, and the notice remains valid even if it comes back as undeliverable, so long as it was correctly addressed. The notice must inform the permit holder of their right to legal representation, the right to present witnesses and evidence at an administrative hearing, and must specify the grounds for revocation; if the permit holder fails to appear at the hearing, the permit is automatically revoked. A code officer may also amend, modify, or withdraw the notice within five days of mailing, provided no hearing has yet occurred.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Huntington's rental permit requirements under ch. 160 § 160-39 should ensure that any application submitted to the Town contains a current, accurate mailing address, since that is the address to which revocation notices will be sent. A compliant operator generally keeps contact information up to date with the Town so that official correspondence is actually received, even though the provision makes valid service possible even when mail is returned undeliverable. When a revocation notice is received, operators typically review the stated grounds carefully — whether an error, omission, or alleged false statement — and take note of the scheduled hearing date, their right to bring legal counsel, and the automatic-revocation consequence of failing to appear under § 160-39.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in a rental unit subject to Huntington's permit requirements may be affected if their landlord's rental permit is being revoked under ch. 160 § 160-39, since a revoked permit can affect the legal status of the tenancy. This provision governs the procedural steps the Town must follow — including proper notice and an administrative hearing — before a permit is revoked, which means tenants can look to whether those steps were properly observed if a permit dispute arises. Tenants who have concerns about a landlord's permit status or a pending revocation proceeding may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Huntington's rental regulations for guidance on available options.
