A violation of this Code includes, but is not limited to, the construction, alteration, repair or conversion of any building or structure or the use of any building, structure or premises in violation of this Code or any covenant or condition imposed by the Town Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals or the Planning Board in connection with the approval of any petition or application submitted to such Board.

C. 

Revocation of Town Board grant. Failure to comply with any restrictions, conditions and/or criteria as set forth under the Town Code of the Town of Brookhaven, or imposed by the Town Board, in connection with any special permit grant or variance granted by the Town Board shall be presumptive grounds for revocation of such special permit or variance granted by the Town Board.
