Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 450-20
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The code enforcement official may revoke a rental dwelling permit where it appears 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 provided to the permit holder or the managing agent of such rental dwelling unit, of a violation of the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the Nassau County Fire Prevention Ordinance, or a violation of the laws, rules, codes, ordinances or regulations of the Village of Island Park, the County of Nassau or the State of New York. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Board of Trustees, by written request made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing on such appeal within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such appeal and after such hearing may make written findings, conclusions, and a decision either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after the close of such public hearing.
Under Island Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 450 § 450-20, a rental dwelling permit can be revoked by the code enforcement official when a permit holder has allowed a code or law violation to persist on the property for ten or more days after receiving written notice. The provision also establishes an appeal process: a permit holder who disagrees with a revocation may request a public hearing before the Village Board of Trustees, which then issues a written decision either upholding or reversing the revocation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental dwellings in Island Park should be aware that under § 450-20, a permit revocation can follow if a cited violation—whether under state, county, or village law—goes unaddressed for ten or more days after written notice is delivered to the permit holder or managing agent. Compliant operators generally document corrective actions promptly and keep records of all correspondence with the code enforcement office. If a revocation does occur, § 450-20 provides a 30-day window to file a written appeal with the Board of Trustees, which will schedule a public hearing before issuing a final written decision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 450-20 of Island Park's Code of Ordinances gives the local code enforcement official authority to revoke a landlord's rental dwelling permit when housing, fire, or building code violations are left unresolved after written notice—a mechanism that can serve as an indirect enforcement tool for habitability concerns. Tenants who believe their unit has unaddressed code violations may consider contacting the Island Park code enforcement office or Nassau County agencies to report conditions. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help explain how permit revocation proceedings under § 450-20 may intersect with a tenant's broader rights and options.
