§ 280-450 Revocation.
A. All short-term rentals, and those owning, occupying, managing and/or maintaining a short-
  term rental shall comply with all of the provisions of this section, the Town Code, all County,
  New York State and federal laws and regulations, and all orders, permits, notices, rules,
  regulations or determinations issued in connection therewith.
B. The Code Enforcement Officer shall be granted access, upon reasonable request, at any time
  to ensure compliance with all applicable codes, rules, permits, regulations, safety provisions,
  and provisions of the Town Code. The Code Enforcement Officer may also request access to
  investigate any complaints received by the Town regarding the operation of the short-term
  rental.
C. Should the Code Enforcement Officer find that the short-term rental or its owner, or agent is
  in violation of any applicable code, rule, regulation, permit, safety provision, law, or provision
  of this chapter, the Code Enforcement Officer may allow 10 business days for the violation to
  be cured. If the violation is not cured within the 10 business days, or no cure period was given,
  then the Code Enforcement Officer shall revoke the short-term rental permit. Upon revocation
  of the permit, the Code Enforcement Officer shall notify the short-term rental, its owner, or
  agent in writing of the revocation, including the reason for the revocation. Said notice shall be
  sent certified mail and via email to the addresses listed on the permit. Should the short-term
  rental, its owner, and/or agent wish to appeal the revocation, it may do so by filing a notice of
  appeal with the Town of Hamburg Zoning Board of Appeals within 60 calendar days of receipt
  of the notice of revocation. After the curing of a violation, an Applicant shall be required to
  follow sections 280-444.
D. The Chief of Police or designee may recommend the revocation or the non-renewal of a short-
  term rental permit if he or she determines that a short-term rental compromises public health,
  safety, and/or welfare of the Town of Hamburg, and/or has become a nuisance to the
  neighborhood. A short-term rental may be considered a nuisance if it is the source of frequent
  calls for police service, an egregious criminal offense, and/or suspected criminal activity. The
  Chief of Police shall provide his or her recommendation to the Code Enforcement Officer in
  writing, including the reason(s) for revocation or non-renewal. The Code Enforcement Officer
  shall review the recommendation from the Chief of Police within 5 business days of receipt of
  the recommendation. Upon review of the recommendation, if the Code Enforcement Officer
  determines the short-term rental permit is to be revoked, the Code Enforcement Officer shall
  notify the short-term rental owner or agent of the revocation, including the reason(s) for the
  revocation. Said notice shall be sent certified mail and via email to the addresses listed on the
  permit. Should the short-term rental, its owner, and/or agent wish to appeal the revocation, it
  may do so by filing a notice of appeal with the Town of Hamburg Zoning Board of Appeals
  within 60 calendar days of receipt of the notice of revocation.
