(2) For egregious conduct that presents an immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare, the Code Enforcement Officer may order an interim suspension effective upon service of notice, pending a prompt hearing. (3) Prior to any suspension or revocation that is not interim, the Code Enforcement Officer shall provide written notice of intent to suspend or revoke, stating the grounds, the proposed action, and the right to a hearing. The owner shall have ten business days to request a hearing. If a hearing is requested, the Town shall schedule it within thirty days before a designated hearing officer or other body as provided by Town law. A written decision shall issue within fifteen days after the close of the hearing. (4) An owner aggrieved by a suspension or revocation may appeal to the Town Board within fifteen days of the decision. The filing of an appeal does not stay an interim suspension unless the Town Board so orders. (5) Failure to comply with imposed conditions is independent grounds for suspension or revocation. E. Reinstatement. Following suspension or revocation, a permit may be reinstated upon written request to the Code Enforcement Officer demonstrating correction of violations, payment of all outstanding fines and fees, and submission of an acceptable management plan that addresses nuisance prevention and response. F. Evidence. A violation may be substantiated by any reliable evidence including officer observations, Code Enforcement Officer inspection, calibrated sound readings, time stamped video or audio recordings, sworn neighbor statements, or other credible documentation.

The remedies in this section are cumulative and do not limit the Town’s ability to pursue any other remedy authorized by law, including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or criminal enforcement where applicable. § 197-I Penalties for Offenses.
