Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-6
Revocation of rental dwelling unit registration certificate
Operative Text
The Village's Code Enforcement Office may revoke a rental dwelling unit registration certificate issued pursuant to this article for any of the following reasons: A. Fraud, misrepresentation or a false statement as to material fact in the application; B. A finding that a rental dwelling unit registration certificate was issued in error and not in accordance with applicable law; C. A violation of any provision of this chapter, including noncompliance with a notice of violation.
Under Hancock, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 § 83-6, the Village's Code Enforcement Office has the authority to revoke a rental dwelling unit registration certificate under three circumstances: if the original application contained fraud, misrepresentation, or a materially false statement; if the certificate was issued in error or contrary to applicable law; or if the certificate holder has violated any provision of the chapter, including failing to comply with a notice of violation. Revocation removes the legal authorization to operate the rental unit under the registration program. This provision gives the Code Enforcement Office a meaningful enforcement tool beyond simply issuing notices.
