Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 159 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 159-13
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke a rental dwelling permit where it appears that a permit holder has: (1) Caused, permitted, suffered or allowed to exist and remain upon the premises for which such permit has been issued, for a period of 10 days or more after written notice has been given to the permit holder or the managing agent of such rental dwelling unit, a violation of any state, county or Village law; or (2) Has refused permission to the Code Enforcement Officer, after written request, to make an inspection at reasonable times, or, in an emergency at any time, of the premises in which such rental dwelling occupancy has been permitted, to determine the condition of same or otherwise to discharge the duties of such Code Enforcement Officer under this chapter. B. An appeal from such revocation may be taken by the permit holder to the Board of Trustees, by written request, made within 30 days from the date of such revocation. The Board of Trustees shall hold a public hearing on such appeal within 30 days after receipt of a written notice of such appeal and after such hearing may make written findings, conclusions and decision either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after close of such public hearing.
Under Castleton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 159 § 159-13, the Code Enforcement Officer has authority to revoke a rental dwelling permit under two circumstances: if a permit holder allows a violation of state, county, or Village law to persist on the premises for 10 or more days after receiving written notice, or if the permit holder refuses to allow a lawfully requested inspection. A permit holder whose permit is revoked may appeal that decision to the Board of Trustees by submitting a written request within 30 days of the revocation. The Board must then hold a public hearing within 30 days of receiving the appeal and issue a written decision within 30 days after the hearing closes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 159 § 159-13 generally maintain compliance by promptly addressing any cited violations of state, county, or Village law within the 10-day window that begins upon receipt of written notice, so that a revocation is never triggered. Compliant operators also cooperate with Code Enforcement Officer inspection requests made at reasonable times, or at any time in an emergency, rather than refusing access. Should a revocation nonetheless occur, the permit holder has a defined 30-day window to file a written appeal with the Board of Trustees and participate in the subsequent public hearing process.

Section 159-13 of the Castleton-on-Hudson Code establishes that a landlord's rental dwelling permit can be revoked if violations are left unaddressed after written notice or if inspections are obstructed — protections that can bear directly on the habitability and legal status of a rental unit. Tenants who believe their landlord is operating in violation of applicable law may contact the Village's Code Enforcement Officer to inquire about the inspection and enforcement process under this chapter. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand how permit revocation proceedings might relate to their housing situation.
