Summary
A first revocation of an Oneida short-term rental operating permit bars the owner from reapplying for one year under Code Section 190-26.3. A second revocation of the same unit's permit bars reapplication for five years, a steep escalation built into the City's own short-term rental enforcement process.
[g] The owner of a dwelling unit for which a short-term rental operating permit has been revoked for the first time may not reapply for a new operating permit until one year after such revocation. [h] The owner of a dwelling unit for which a short-term rental operating permit has been revoked at least once before may not reapply for a new operating permit until five years after such revocation.

Full Breakdown
G(2)(h), added December 6, 2022 by Local Law No. 11-2022, sets out the full order-to-remedy and revocation sequence before it reaches the reapplication bars. The Code Enforcement Officer first issues a written order to remedy identifying the violation and giving the owner 30 days to correct it. If the owner fails to comply, the Officer can move to suspend or revoke the operating permit by serving a notice of intent describing the violation and demanding an immediate fix. An owner who disputes the action can request a hearing before the Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission within five business days of receiving the notice, and the Board must hold that hearing within 30 days and issue a written decision within 15 days afterward.
Once a permit is actually revoked, Subsection G(2)(h)[5][g] bars the owner of that dwelling unit from reapplying for a new operating permit until one year after the revocation for a first revocation. Subsection [h] doubles down: if the same unit's permit is revoked a second time, the owner cannot reapply for five years. Because the bar runs with the dwelling unit's revocation history rather than starting fresh with a new owner or manager, it functions as a real deterrent against repeat short-term rental violations at the same address.
Violations & Fines
A revoked operating permit under Section 190-26.3.G(2)(h) immediately ends lawful short-term rental use of the unit. A first revocation bars reapplication for one year; a second revocation at the same unit bars reapplication for five years. Continuing to operate without a valid permit after revocation is itself a separate zoning violation punishable under Section 190-39 by a fine of up to $250 and 15 days in jail per week.
