Valley Stream, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 46A (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 46A-11
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The Superintendent of Buildings Department 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 Village of Valley Stream for a period of 14 days or more after written notice has been given to the permit holder, managing agent, or tenant of such rental property. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Zoning Board of Appeals, by written request, made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Zoning Board of Appeals Review Board 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.
Valley Stream Code § 46A-11 establishes a process by which a rental permit can be revoked when the permit holder has allowed a Village Code violation to persist on the rental property for 14 or more days after receiving written notice. The revocation is carried out by the Superintendent of Buildings Department. A permit holder who disagrees with the revocation has the right to appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals within 30 days, triggering a formal public hearing and written decision process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 46A-11, compliant rental property operators in Valley Stream generally respond promptly to any written notice of a Village Code violation, addressing the cited condition well within the 14-day window to avoid triggering permit revocation. Operators who do receive a revocation notice are aware that a written appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals must be filed within 30 days of the revocation date. Maintaining documentation of remediation efforts and correspondence with the Buildings Department is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate compliance.

Section § 46A-11 is relevant to tenants because a rental permit revocation can affect the legal status of their housing. If a tenant receives written notice of a Village Code violation under this provision, that notice starts the 14-day clock that could ultimately lead to permit revocation. Tenants who have concerns about how a revocation or ongoing code violations may affect their housing situation may find it useful to contact a local tenant-rights organization or consult with a housing attorney familiar with Valley Stream's ordinances.
