Hillburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 188 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 188-9
Revocation or suspension of permit
Operative Text
Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked or suspended by the Building Department after notice to the owner, setting forth the basis for the suspension or revocation and an opportunity for the owner to be heard upon a finding by the Building Department that the requirements of this chapter or any conditions of said permit have been violated or that the premises are not being maintained in accordance with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Any person who claims to be aggrieved by any such suspension or revocation may file with the Village Clerk a letter setting forth the basis for his/her contention that the suspension or revocation is erroneous within five days after receipt of any such notice of suspension or revocation. The Board of Trustees shall appoint a hearing officer at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees who shall promptly provide an opportunity for the appellant to be heard, either in writing or in person, and who shall either affirm, reverse or modify the suspension or revocation.
Under Hillburn, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 188 § 188-9, the Building Department has authority to revoke or suspend a rental permit when it finds that the permit's conditions or the chapter's requirements have been violated, or when the property is not maintained in compliance with applicable law. Before any revocation or suspension takes effect, the owner must receive written notice explaining the basis for the action and a chance to be heard. A separate appeal path exists through the Village Clerk and a Board of Trustees-appointed hearing officer, who can affirm, reverse, or modify the Building Department's decision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators holding permits under ch. 188 § 188-9 generally stay in compliance by keeping the property maintained in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and by adhering to every condition attached to their permit. If the Building Department issues a notice of suspension or revocation, compliant operators respond promptly to the opportunity to be heard that the notice must provide. Should the outcome still be unfavorable, the ordinance allows an appeal by filing a letter with the Village Clerk within five days of receiving the notice, triggering a review by a hearing officer appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Section 188-9 of Hillburn's Code of Ordinances provides a mechanism that can affect the legal status of a rental unit's permit when a landlord fails to maintain the premises or violates permit conditions — outcomes that may be relevant to tenants living in those units. Tenants who believe their building is out of compliance with applicable housing laws or permit conditions may consider contacting the Hillburn Building Department to report concerns, which could prompt a review under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York village codes can help residents understand how a permit suspension or revocation under ch. 188 § 188-9 might interact with their occupancy rights.
