Bellport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 25 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 25-8
Revocation of rental license
Operative Text
A. The Building Inspector may recommend to the Board of Trustees the revocation of a rental license where he/she finds that the owner or owner's managing agent has caused, permitted, suffered or allowed to exist and remain upon the premises for which such rental license has been obtained, for a period of 14 days or more after written notice has been given to the owner 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 or a violation of this chapter or other chapter of the Village Code. B. Within 60 days of the recommendation of the Building Inspector and after 10 days' written notice by certified mail to the owner and/or owner's managing agent, the Village Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing on such recommendation, and after such hearing shall make written findings, a conclusion and a decision. C. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the owner and/or owner's managing agent to the Zoning Board of Appeals, by written request, made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall hold a public hearing on such appeal after receipt of written request of such appeal, and after such hearing shall make written findings and conclusions and a decision either sustaining such rental license revocation or reinstating such rental license within 30 days after close of such public hearing. Unless the 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 rental license revocation until the Zoning Board of Appeals has considered and ruled upon the issue.
Section 25-8 of Bellport's Village Code establishes a process by which a rental license can be revoked when an owner or managing agent allows a code violation to persist for 14 or more days after receiving written notice. The Building Inspector initiates the process by recommending revocation to the Board of Trustees, which must hold a public hearing within 60 days before issuing a written decision. An owner or managing agent may appeal a revocation to the Zoning Board of Appeals within 30 days, and filing that appeal generally pauses the revocation's effect unless the Board of Trustees determines there is a serious threat to health and safety.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bellport Code § 25-8, compliant rental property operators address any cited violations of the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or the Village Code promptly upon receiving written notice, well before the 14-day threshold that can trigger a revocation recommendation. Operators who receive a Building Inspector's recommendation for revocation are entitled to written notice by certified mail and a public hearing before the Board of Trustees issues any decision. If a revocation is ultimately ordered, § 25-8 provides a 30-day window to file a written appeal with the Zoning Board of Appeals, which in most circumstances stays the revocation pending the appeal outcome.

Section 25-8 of the Bellport Village Code creates a formal mechanism for removing a rental license when a property owner or managing agent fails to correct code violations within 14 days of written notice, which can be a meaningful protection for tenants living in substandard conditions. Tenants who believe their dwelling has unresolved violations may contact the Village Building Inspector, whose office is the body authorized under § 25-8 to initiate the revocation recommendation process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York Village Code enforcement can help residents understand how the public hearing process under § 25-8 works and what options may be available to them.
