Port Jefferson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 205 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 205-9
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The Senior Building Inspector may recommend to the Board of Trustees the revocation of 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 14 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, New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code or a violation of this article or other chapter of the Village Code. B. Upon the recommendation of the Senior Building Inspector and after 10 days' written notice by certified mail to the owner, the Village Board shall hold a public hearing on such recommendation within 60 days after such recommendation, and after such hearing, shall make written findings, a conclusion and a decision.
Under Port Jefferson Code ch. 205 § 205-9, a rental occupancy permit can be revoked through a two-step process. First, the Senior Building Inspector may recommend revocation to the Board of Trustees when a permit holder has allowed a qualifying code violation—such as one under the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code, or the Village Code—to persist for 14 or more days after written notice. Second, the Village Board must hold a public hearing within 60 days of that recommendation, following 10 days' certified-mail notice to the owner, and must issue written findings and a decision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Port Jefferson Code ch. 205 § 205-9 generally stay attentive to any written notices of code violations and resolve them well within the 14-day window that triggers a revocation recommendation. Maintaining documentation of corrective actions—repairs completed, contractors engaged, and communications with inspectors—supports a clear record if a public hearing is ever convened. Because the Village Board's hearing process results in written findings, compliant operators typically ensure their properties meet the requirements of the Multiple Residence Law, the state building and fire codes, the Energy Conservation Construction Code, and all applicable Village Code provisions on an ongoing basis.

Under Port Jefferson Code ch. 205 § 205-9, tenants living in a rental unit where serious code violations have gone unaddressed may have an interest in understanding that the Village has a formal mechanism to revoke a landlord's rental occupancy permit. If a violation has persisted after written notice was given to the permit holder or managing agent, the Senior Building Inspector has authority to initiate the revocation process, which includes a public hearing where findings are made in writing. Tenants who believe conditions in their unit may implicate this provision can contact the Port Jefferson Village Building Department or consult a tenant-rights organization to understand what options may be available to them.
