Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 162-13
Revocation of residential rental unit occupancy permit
Operative Text
The Village of Owego reserves the right to revoke or suspend any residential rental unit occupancy permit at any time due to violations of any other codes, laws, rules and regulations of New York State and the Village of Owego.
Under Owego Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 162 § 162-13, the Village of Owego holds authority to revoke or suspend a residential rental unit occupancy permit whenever violations of applicable New York State or local codes, laws, rules, or regulations are found. This means a rental unit's legal authorization to be occupied can be withdrawn—not just for violations of the rental permit rules themselves, but for any qualifying regulatory breach. The provision applies at any time, meaning there is no fixed window during which a permit is immune from revocation or suspension.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of residential rental units in Owego Village should be aware that under § 162-13, maintaining compliance across all applicable New York State and Village of Owego codes—not just those directly governing rental permits—is essential to keeping an occupancy permit in good standing. A compliant operator generally conducts regular property inspections, addresses code deficiencies promptly, and tracks obligations under building, housing, fire, and health regulations. Because any code violation can trigger permit suspension or revocation under this provision, broad regulatory awareness is a practical part of managing a rental property in the Village.

Tenants who believe their unit may have code violations that could jeopardize its permitted status may consider documenting conditions and contacting the Village of Owego's code enforcement office to understand the status of their unit's permit. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York housing law can help explain what permit revocation or suspension may mean for occupants and what general options may be available.
