Penalty (Le Roy Rental Housing Inspection and Certification Ordinance)
Operative Text
[ 3-4-2024 by Ord. No. 24-03-02-53 ] A. In addition to any other remedy, including, without limitation, remedies at law and in equity, any person violating the terms of this chapter shall be fined not more than $750 for each day the violation continues nor less than $100 for each day the violation continues. Each day a violation continues shall be a separate offense. B. Every act or omission by any person that constitutes a violation of this chapter shall be deemed to be an act or omission of the owner and punishable in accordance with the terms of this chapter.
Section 9-8-9 of Le Roy's Municipal Code Chapter 9-8 establishes financial penalties for violations of the chapter's rental regulations. Any person who violates the chapter's requirements may be fined between $100 and $750 for each day the violation persists, with every continuing day counted as a separate offense. The provision also holds property owners accountable for any act or omission by any person that constitutes a violation, meaning ownership carries direct legal responsibility regardless of who physically committed the violation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Le Roy Mun. Code § 9-8-9, property owners bear direct liability for violations of Chapter 9-8, even when the act or omission is carried out by another person such as a property manager or agent. Because each day of non-compliance is treated as a separate offense carrying fines from $100 to $750, operators who identify a potential violation generally move promptly to correct it and document their corrective steps. Maintaining clear records of compliance activities and ensuring that anyone acting on the owner's behalf understands the chapter's requirements are practices consistent with responsible property management under this provision.

Le Roy Mun. Code § 9-8-9 provides that violations of Chapter 9-8 can result in daily fines against the responsible party, and the provision explicitly assigns liability to the property owner for violations connected to the rental property. Tenants who believe a landlord is not complying with Chapter 9-8 may consider documenting the issue with dates and details, since the per-day penalty structure means ongoing violations can accumulate significant fines. Reaching out to the Le Roy municipal government or a local tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand what enforcement options or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
