Sullivan, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 179-8
Assignment of license
Operative Text
Any license issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter shall be assignable only with the consent of the Town Board.
Under Sullivan, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 § 179-8, a license issued under Chapter 179 cannot be freely transferred from one party to another. Any such assignment requires the explicit approval of the Town Board before it can take effect. This rule ensures that the Town retains oversight over who holds a valid license under the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 179-8, property owners or managers who hold a license issued pursuant to Chapter 179 and wish to transfer or assign that license to another party must first obtain consent from the Sullivan Town Board. Compliant operators typically initiate this process well in advance of any planned transfer, ensuring the assignment is formally approved before the transaction is completed. Proceeding with an assignment without Town Board approval would place the license holder outside the requirements of this provision.

Section 179-8 establishes that any license covered by Chapter 179 can only be assigned with Town Board approval, which means tenants may have an interest in whether a license transfer affecting their housing has been properly authorized. If a property changes hands or management and questions arise about whether a valid, properly assigned license is in place, tenants can inquire with the Sullivan Town Board to verify compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Sullivan ordinances can also help residents understand what options may be available when a licensing question arises.
