Violation of any section of this article or any attempt by an owner to evade application of this article, or any misrepresentation of a material fact in any application or other writing required by this article shall constitute violations of this article. Any person in violation or default thereof shall be punished by a civil fine or forfeiture not to exceed ninety dollars ($90.00) per incident, per day. Each day's violation of any provision of this article shall constitute a separate offense.
Section 146-64 of the Stamford Code of Ordinances Chapter 146 establishes that breaking any rule within this article, attempting to sidestep its requirements, or submitting false or misleading information in required documents all count as violations. The civil penalty for each violation can reach up to $90 per incident, per day, and every day a violation continues is treated as a distinct, separate offense. This structure means that ongoing or repeated noncompliance can result in accumulating fines over time.

Under § 146-64, property owners and managers are expected to comply fully with every provision of Chapter 146, avoid any conduct that could be construed as an attempt to circumvent the article, and ensure that all required applications and written submissions are accurate and complete. Because each day of noncompliance constitutes a separate offense carrying a civil fine of up to $90 per incident per day, operators generally maintain thorough records and promptly correct any identified deficiencies. Accurate documentation and consistent adherence to the article's requirements are hallmarks of compliant property management under this provision.

Section 146-64 gives tenants a basis to report landlord conduct that violates Chapter 146, including attempts to evade the article's protections or misrepresentations made in required filings. Because fines of up to $90 per incident, per day can accumulate for each day a violation continues, the provision creates ongoing accountability for noncompliant owners. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider documenting the conduct, contacting the relevant Stamford municipal office, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
