Islandia, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 138-13
Revocation of permit; appeals
Operative Text
A. The Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke a rental permit or renewal rental permit where it appears that an owner has: (1) 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 owner of such rental dwelling, a violation of any state, county or Village law; or (2) Refused permission to the Code Enforcement Officer, after written request, to make an inspection at reasonable times, or in an emergency at any time, of the premises in which such rental dwelling occupancy has been permitted, to determine the condition of the same or otherwise to discharge the duties of such Code Enforcement Officer under this article. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the owner 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 decisions either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after close of such public hearing.
Under Islandia, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 138 § 138-13, the Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to revoke a rental permit when an owner has allowed a violation of state, county, or Village law to persist for 10 or more days after receiving written notice, or has refused to allow a lawful inspection of the rental premises. Revocation is not automatic upon a violation; the written-notice period and refusal-of-inspection trigger are prerequisites. Owners who lose a permit have a formal appeal path through the Village Board of Trustees, which must hold a public hearing and issue a written decision within defined timeframes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under a rental permit in Islandia should be aware that § 138-13 ties permit validity directly to code compliance and cooperation with inspections. Compliant operators generally address any written violation notices within the 10-day window and respond promptly to written inspection requests from the Code Enforcement Officer. When a revocation does occur, the ordinance provides a 30-day window to file a written appeal with the Board of Trustees, which then schedules a public hearing and issues a written ruling.

Section 138-13 of Islandia's rental permit ordinance gives tenants an indirect but meaningful protection: a landlord who ignores code violations or blocks inspections risks losing the rental permit entirely. Tenants who believe their landlord has received written notice of a violation and failed to correct it within 10 days may wish to contact the Village's Code Enforcement Officer to understand the status of any permit proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing law can help residents understand how permit revocation proceedings under § 138-13 may relate to their housing situation.
