Revocation of license
Operative Text
A. If the Code Enforcement Officer upon inspection finds that such mobile home park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or that such park is not being conducted in accordance with the regulations applicable to such park and the provisions of this chapter, he shall serve upon the holder of such license or the person in charge of such park an order, in writing, directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within five days after the service of such order. If after the expiration of such period, such conditions remain unchanged or are not corrected in accordance with said order, the Code Enforcement Officer shall serve a notice, in writing, upon such park owner or the person in charge of such park requiring the holder of such license to appear before the Town Board of the Town of Sullivan at a time to be specified in such notice, not less than 24 hours, and show cause why such license should not be revoked. The Town Board may, after a hearing at which the testimony and witnesses of the Code Enforcement Officer and the holder of such license shall be heard, revoke such license if the conditions described in the original order have not been corrected in accordance with the terms of such order or if the holder of such license has violated the regulations applicable to such park or has violated any of the provisions of this chapter or for other sufficient cause. Upon the revocation of such license, the premises shall forthwith cease to be used for the purpose of such park and all trailers shall be removed therefrom. B. The commission of any felony or misdemeanor on the licensed premises herein shall subject the owners to suspension of the license described herein. The licensee shall be entitled to a hearing before the Town Board on said suspension within seven days after the service of a notice of such suspension upon him, at which time evidence shall be taken and the licensee given opportunity to be heard and appear by his attorney, and, after hearing the evidence on the record of the hearing and all the facts brought forth, the Town Board may determine to suspend, revoke or restore said license. Such notice in the license shall be given to him personally or, in his absence, by posting the said notice of suspension in some conspicuous place upon the licensed premises.
Section 179-10 of Sullivan, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 establishes a process by which a mobile home park operating license can be revoked or suspended. If a Code Enforcement Officer finds that a park is not maintained in a clean, sanitary, or regulation-compliant condition, the owner is given a written order and five days to correct the problem; failure to comply triggers a hearing before the Town Board, which may revoke the license. Separately, if a felony or misdemeanor is committed on the licensed premises, the license may be suspended immediately, with the licensee entitled to a hearing before the Town Board within seven days of receiving notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Sullivan, N.Y. subject to ch. 179 § 179-10 generally maintain their properties in continuous compliance with applicable sanitation and regulatory standards to avoid triggering the Code Enforcement Officer's written-order process. A compliant operator responds promptly to any written correction order within the five-day window and documents remediation efforts in case a Town Board hearing is convened. Because a felony or misdemeanor on the licensed premises can result in immediate license suspension under § 179-10(B), operators typically maintain active oversight of activities occurring within the park.
