Revocation of permit
Operative Text
A. The Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke a residential rental property permit when the permit holder has caused, permitted or allowed to exist and remain upon the residential rental property, a violation of any provision of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, or the Pittsford Village Code, or any other applicable code or regulation, for a period of 14 calendar days or more after written notice has been provided to the permit owner or the permit owner's agent, by certified mail. B. An appeal from such revocation may be made in writing by the permit holder to the Village of Pittsford Zoning Board of Appeals within 30 days from the date of such revocation by filing a notice of appeal with the Clerk of the Village of Pittsford. The Zoning Board of appeals shall hold a public hearing on such appeal within 30 days after receipt of written notice of such appeal and, after such hearing, shall make written findings and a decision either sustaining such permit revocation or reinstating such permit within 30 days after the close of such public hearing. C. In the event that no appeal is filed within 30 days, or in the event that such an appeal is filed and such permit revocation is sustained, then the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer shall place a notice conspicuously on the property indicating that it may no longer be rented as a residential property. D. In the event that the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer determines that there is a violation at the residential rental property as referenced in Subsection A hereinabove, and in the event that such violation creates a dangerous, hazardous or unsafe condition to and for the general public, then the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer shall proceed as required by chapter 80 of the code of the Village of Pittsford.
Under Pittsford, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 § 154-11, a residential rental property permit can be revoked when a code violation—under New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, the Pittsford Village Code, or other applicable regulations—has been allowed to persist for 14 or more calendar days after the permit holder receives written notice by certified mail.
