Plain English

Westchester Ch. 7.128 § 7.128.110 establishes financial penalties for anyone—individual, firm, partnership, or corporation—found to have violated the Rental Residential Property Inspection and Licensing chapter. A conviction or finding of liability, whether by a court or an administrative hearing officer, can result in a fine ranging from $50 to $750 per violation. Critically, each day that a violation continues is treated as its own separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate rapidly over time.

For Property Managers

Under § 7.128.110, property owners and managers who fail to comply with the Rental Residential Property Inspection and Licensing chapter face fines between $50 and $750 for each violation found. Because every day a violation persists counts as a distinct offense, operators who promptly correct any identified deficiencies generally limit their total financial exposure. Compliant operators typically maintain current licenses, address inspection findings without delay, and keep documentation showing that corrective actions were completed.

For Tenants

Section 7.128.110 of Westchester's Rental Residential Property Inspection and Licensing chapter gives enforcement authorities the power to impose daily fines on landlords who remain out of compliance, which can create meaningful pressure for correction. Tenants who believe their landlord is violating the chapter's requirements may report concerns to the relevant Village enforcement office, which can initiate an administrative or court proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester's local ordinances can help residents understand what the chapter requires and what reporting options are generally available.
