Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 78-11, compliant operators of licensed premises in Lynbrook ensure that either the owner or a duly licensed manager is present and actively supervising the property at all times. Operators generally maintain clear records of any guest conduct incidents and report unlawful conduct to police as required, since accumulating three or more conduct violations within a three-month window creates a presumption of supervisory failure. Staying ahead of recurring violations is important because the Board of Trustees holds authority to revoke the annual license issued under § 78-2 after a noticed hearing.
