Patchogue, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 336 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 336-9
Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The Senior Building Inspector may recommend to the Board of Trustees the revocation of a rental occupancy permit where he or she finds that the permit holder has caused, permitted, suffered or allowed to exist and remain upon the premises for which such permit has been issued, for a period of 14 days or more after written notice has been given to the permit holder or the managing agent of such rental dwelling unit, a violation of the Multiple Residence Law , New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code or a violation of this article or other chapter of the Village Code. B. Upon the recommendation of the Senior Building Inspector and after 10 days' written notice by certified mail to the owner, the Village Board shall hold a public hearing on such recommendation within 60 days after such recommendation, and after such hearing shall make written findings, a conclusion and a decision.
Under Patchogue, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 336 § 336-9, a rental occupancy permit may be revoked when a permit holder has allowed a qualifying code violation — under the Multiple Residence Law, the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or the Village Code — to persist for 14 or more days after receiving written notice. The process begins with a recommendation from the Senior Building Inspector to the Board of Trustees, followed by a public hearing held within 60 days of that recommendation. The Village Board must then issue written findings, a conclusion, and a formal decision after the hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to § 336-9 generally treat any written notice of a code violation as a firm deadline, resolving the cited condition well within the 14-day window to avoid triggering a revocation recommendation by the Senior Building Inspector. Maintaining documentation of corrective actions — work orders, contractor invoices, inspection sign-offs — supports a clear record that violations were addressed promptly. If a revocation recommendation is made, the Village Board will provide at least 10 days' certified-mail notice before a public hearing, giving permit holders an opportunity to present their case.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 336-9 of the Patchogue Village Code establishes a formal mechanism that can result in a landlord losing the right to rent a unit when code violations go unaddressed for 14 or more days after written notice. Tenants who observe persistent violations — such as conditions that may implicate the Multiple Residence Law or the State Fire Prevention and Building Code — may bring those conditions to the attention of the Village's building department, which can initiate the inspection and recommendation process. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand how this provision interacts with their housing situation and what options may be available to them.
