Monroe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 40 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 40-37

A. Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked by the Town, under the following circumstances: (1) The permit was issued in error, or issued in whole or in part as a result of a false, untrue, or misleading statement on the permit application or other document submitted for filing, including but not limited to the schematic, or certification by the licensed professional engineer or registered architect; or (2) The Town has suspended or revoked the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu for the rental dwelling. (3) The property is the subject of enforcement proceedings for violations of either the Town Code or State Building and Fire Code that have not been timely remedied by the property owner and such violations concern matters of health, safety and/or welfare of occupants of the structure for which the rental permit was issued. (4) A certificate of occupancy for the property with the rental permit is the subject of a pending proceeding by the Town to suspend or revoke the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu for such structure. (a) In cases where a rental permit has already been issued for such property, a notice of the Town's intention to suspend or revoke the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu may be served simultaneously with a notice of the Town's intention to revoke a rental permit, either in one notice document or two. (b) When a rental permit is proposed for revocation due to the anticipated revocation or suspension of a certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu, the procedure set forth in Chapter 23 of the Town Code to suspend or revoke the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu shall control and apply equally to the proposed revocation of the rental permit, except that any notice of the Town's proposal to revoke the rental permit shall cite this section as a basis for such action. B. Written notice. Written notice of the Town's intention to revoke a rental permit shall be served by the Town Building Department 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. 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 hearing to be held before the Town Board to revoke the rental permit; and a statement that upon the applicant's failure to appear for the hearing, then in such event the rental permit shall be automatically revoked. C. Amendment, modification or withdrawal. The Building Inspector or Code Enforcement 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 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. D. Conduct of revocation hearings. Any hearing concerning a revocation of a permit shall be conducted in accordance with § 40-28D and E of this article. E. Final order of revocation. The failure of the applicant or his attorney to appear at the scheduled hearing shall result in the automatic revocation of the rental permit. The order of revocation shall be mailed to the applicant or his attorney in the same manner as the original notice. F. Effect of revocation. If a permit is revoked, no application for a new permit will be accepted for filing until the applicant has remedied the conditions that formed the basis of the revocation to the satisfaction of the Town, if applicable. Once remedied, the applicant will have to apply for a new permit and pay the fee as in the case of an original application.
