The permit is automatically revoked should the Village
of Fishkill police, senior officer in charge or a Village official
state in writing that the garage sale, tag sale or yard sale is creating
an unsafe traffic condition.

In the event
the application for a permit is made by a tenant of the premises (rather

of the owner.
