Section 186-13 gives tenants context for understanding why a landlord's rental registration certificate might be revoked — including unresolved housing code violations, lead-based paint hazards, or delinquent property taxes on the unit. If a tenant believes conditions in their unit may constitute grounds for revocation, they may consider contacting the Village Engineer's office or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options. Any revocation decision under this section is subject to appeal before the Zoning Board of Appeals, which issues a written statement of its reasoning.
