Revocation or suspension of permit
Operative Text
Any permit issued pursuant to this article may be revoked or suspended by the Building Department after notice to the owner and an opportunity for the owner to be heard upon a finding by the Building Department that the requirements of this article or any conditions of said permit have been violated or that the premises are not being maintained in accordance with the requirements of any applicable law, rule or regulation.
Under Kingston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-11, the Building Department has the authority to revoke or suspend a rental permit if it determines that the permit's conditions or the article's requirements have been violated, or that the property is not being maintained in compliance with applicable laws, rules, or regulations. Before any revocation or suspension takes effect, the property owner must receive notice and a chance to be heard. This procedural safeguard ensures that permit actions are not taken without the owner having an opportunity to respond to the findings.
