Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 54-6
Suspension, revocation or denial of permit; judicial review
Operative Text
A. The Town Board of the Town of Islip may at any time, after proper hearing, suspend or revoke any permit granted under this ordinance, and may, as a result of such suspension or revocation, order any trailer park closed. B. A permit may be refused if the applicant shall have been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony which in the judgment of the Town Board renders the applicant unfit or undesirable to carry on the operation of a trailer park. The Town Board shall have the power to revoke any permit if the permittee shall at any time be convicted of a misdemeanor or felony which in the judgment of the Town Board renders the permittee unfit or undesirable to carry on the operation of a trailer park. C. If the permittee or applicant considers himself aggrieved by any decision of the Town Board with respect to the suspension or revocation of the said license or the refusal of the Town Clerk to issue such license, he may avail himself of his right to review any such suspension or revocation by certiorari proceedings pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Act in the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Section 54-6 of Islip's Code of Ordinances establishes the conditions under which the Town Board of Islip may suspend, revoke, or deny a trailer park operating permit. A permit can be withheld or taken away if the applicant or permit holder has been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony that the Town Board determines makes them unfit to operate such a facility. Any person aggrieved by a suspension, revocation, or denial decision has the right to seek judicial review through an Article 78 proceeding in New York State Supreme Court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and applicants for trailer park permits in Islip should be aware that under § 54-6, the Town Board retains ongoing authority to suspend or revoke a permit at any time following a proper hearing. A compliant operator generally maintains a clean criminal record and promptly addresses any conditions that could trigger a hearing, since a misdemeanor or felony conviction may independently justify permit denial or revocation. Operators who believe a Town Board decision was improper have a defined legal pathway — an Article 78 proceeding in New York State Supreme Court — to seek review of that decision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of trailer parks in Islip should understand that § 54-6 gives the Town Board authority to order a park closed if a permit is suspended or revoked, which could directly affect housing stability. If a park closure is ordered following a permit action, tenants may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with New York housing law to understand available protections. The same Article 78 judicial review process referenced in § 54-6 is a mechanism that aggrieved parties can explore, and a housing attorney or tenant advocacy group can help explain how that process may apply to a given situation.
