Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 270 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 270-12
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The enforcement authority shall revoke a rental permit when he or she finds that the permit holder has caused, permitted or allowed to exist and remain upon the rental property a violation of any provision of the Code of the Town of Southampton for a period of 14 days or more after written notice has been given to the permit holder, owner, person, managing agent, or designee responsible for the maintenance, collection of rent, and/or operation of a rental property or tenant of such rental property. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Public Safety Commission, by written request, made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Public Safety Commission 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 decision either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after close of such public hearing.
Under Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 270 § 270-12, the local enforcement authority has the power to revoke a rental permit when a code violation on the property has gone uncorrected for 14 or more days after written notice was delivered to the responsible party. Once revoked, the permit holder has 30 days to file a written appeal with the Public Safety Commission, which must then hold a public hearing and issue a written decision within defined timeframes. This provision creates a structured process that moves from notice of violation through potential revocation and, if challenged, through a formal administrative appeal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Southampton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 270 § 270-12 generally stay in compliance by treating any written notice of a code violation as a time-sensitive matter, since the enforcement authority may move to revoke a rental permit if the violation persists for 14 days or more. Compliant operators typically document corrective actions taken in response to notices and retain records showing when repairs or remediation were completed. If a revocation does occur, § 270-12 provides a 30-day window to file a written appeal with the Public Safety Commission, so maintaining organized records of all correspondence with the enforcement authority is a common practice.
