Canisteo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 87 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 87-8
Revocation of certificate of occupancy
Operative Text
A. The Codes Enforcement Officer may revoke a certificate of occupancy where he or she finds that the certificate holder has caused, permitted, suffered or allowed to exist a violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, Chapter 87 of the Code of the Village of Canisteo or any other chapter of the Code of the Village of Canisteo. B. The Codes Enforcement Officer may revoke a rental housing certificate of occupancy and the affected rental housing unit shall be vacated forthwith where the certificate holder has, following reasonable notice and an adequate opportunity to correct the same, failed to correct a code violation(s) or failed to correct the duly noted violations that may endanger the health and welfare of the occupants. C. The Codes Enforcement Officer may revoke a certificate of occupancy for failure of an owner to comply with § 87-7 of this article.
Under Canisteo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 87 § 87-8, the Codes Enforcement Officer holds authority to revoke a certificate of occupancy when a certificate holder has allowed a violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or the Village of Canisteo's own code to exist. If a rental housing certificate of occupancy is revoked after the owner has received reasonable notice and a fair chance to fix the problem, the affected rental unit must be vacated immediately. Revocation can also occur when an owner fails to comply with the related requirements set out in § 87-7 of the same article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Canisteo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 87 § 87-8 generally maintain compliance by promptly addressing any code violations identified by the Codes Enforcement Officer, particularly those flagged under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or the Village of Canisteo's local code. Operators who receive a notice of violation typically act within the time provided to correct deficiencies, since failure to do so can result in revocation of the rental housing certificate of occupancy and a mandatory vacancy order. Staying current with the obligations outlined in § 87-7 of this article is also part of maintaining a valid certificate.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under Canisteo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 87 § 87-8, tenants living in a rental unit have an interest in knowing that a landlord's failure to correct code violations—especially those endangering health and welfare—can lead the Codes Enforcement Officer to revoke the rental housing certificate of occupancy and require the unit to be vacated. If a tenant believes their unit has unaddressed code violations, they may consider contacting the Village of Canisteo's Codes Enforcement Officer to report the conditions. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help tenants understand what options may be available when a certificate is at risk of revocation or has already been revoked.
