Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-37
Revocation of Permit
Operative Text
Any permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked by the Town, under the following circumstances: (A) The permit was issued in error, or issued in whole or in part as a result of a false, untrue, or misleading statement on the permit application or other document submitted for filing, including but not limited to the schematic, or certification by the licensed professional engineer or registered architect; or (B) A rental permit has been issued and the Town either has or is in the process of suspending or revoking the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu for the rental property.
Section 160-37 of Huntington, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 establishes two grounds on which the Town may revoke a rental permit. First, a permit can be revoked if it was issued by mistake or obtained through false, inaccurate, or misleading information in the application or supporting documents, such as schematics or professional certifications. Second, a permit may be revoked when the Town is actively suspending or revoking the certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu for the same rental property. This provision gives the Town authority to withdraw a permit at any stage if either condition is met.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-37, compliant operators in Huntington ensure that all information submitted in a rental permit application—including schematics and certifications from licensed engineers or registered architects—is accurate and complete, since any false or misleading statement can serve as grounds for revocation. Operators also maintain a valid certificate of occupancy or letter in lieu for the rental property, because proceedings to suspend or revoke that certificate can trigger permit revocation as well. Keeping documentation current and accurate across all filings helps avoid the circumstances that § 160-37 identifies as revocation triggers.

Section 160-37 of Huntington's Code of Ordinances ch. 160 means that a rental permit for a property you occupy can be revoked if it was obtained through false information or if the property's certificate of occupancy is in jeopardy. If you have reason to believe your landlord's permit was issued based on inaccurate filings, or that the property lacks a valid certificate of occupancy, you may consider contacting the Town of Huntington's relevant code enforcement or housing office to inquire about the property's permit status.
