New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 196-14
Revocation of permit; appeal
Operative Text
A. The Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke a rental occupancy permit where he or she finds 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 given to the permit holder or the managing agent of such rental dwelling unit, a violation of the Multiple Residence Law , New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, Residential Code of New York State, the Nassau County Fire Prevention Ordinance, the Town of North Hempstead Code, the Town of Hempstead or a violation of this chapter or other chapter of the Village Code. Revocation of a permit under this subsection cannot be done by a delegate or assistant of the Code Enforcement Officer. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Village Board of Trustees, by written request, made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Village 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, shall make written findings, and a conclusion and a decision either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after the close of such public hearing. Unless the Village Board of Trustees directs otherwise in circumstances constituting serious threats to health and safety, the filing of an appeal shall stay the effectiveness of a permit revocation until the Village Board of Trustees has considered and ruled upon the issue.
Under New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-14, the Code Enforcement Officer has the authority to revoke a rental occupancy permit when a permit holder has allowed a qualifying code violation to persist for 10 or more days after receiving written notice. Only the Code Enforcement Officer personally—not a delegate or assistant—may carry out such a revocation. A permit holder who disagrees with the revocation may appeal to the Village Board of Trustees within 30 days, and filing that appeal generally pauses the revocation's effect while the Board conducts a public hearing and issues a written decision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-14 generally stay in compliance by promptly addressing any code violations cited in written notices before the 10-day threshold is reached. Compliant operators maintain records of all written notices received and document corrective actions taken, since the permit revocation process is triggered by violations that remain unresolved past that window. If a revocation does occur, the permit holder has 30 days to submit a written appeal to the Village Board of Trustees, and timely filing typically stays the revocation pending the Board's decision unless serious health or safety concerns lead the Board to direct otherwise.

Under New Hyde Park, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 196 § 196-14, tenants have an interest in knowing that a landlord's rental occupancy permit can be revoked when code violations—including those affecting habitability—are left unaddressed for 10 or more days after written notice. If a permit is revoked, the Village Board of Trustees provides a public hearing process through which the revocation is reviewed, offering a formal venue where the record of violations becomes part of the official findings. Tenants who believe their unit involves unresolved code violations may consider contacting the Village's Code Enforcement Officer, consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Nassau County housing law, or reviewing the Village Code for related complaint procedures.
