Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rooming houses in Morrisville should be aware that under § 143-11, a failure to remedy any condition cited under § 143-9 within the 10-day written-notice window can trigger a formal revocation hearing before the Board of Trustees. Compliant operators generally maintain records of all correspondence with the Village, act promptly on any written notices of noncompliance, and confirm that their contact information on the license application is current so that hearing notices reach them in time. Participating in the hearing process is the designated opportunity to present information to the Board before any revocation decision is made.

For tenants living in a rooming house in Morrisville, § 143-11 establishes a formal process through which the Board of Trustees can revoke an operator's license when conditions required under § 143-9 go uncorrected.
