Albion Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 179-33
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person committing an offense against any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. The continuation of an offense against the provisions of this chapter shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.
Section 179-33 of Albion Village's Code of Ordinances establishes the consequences for violating any provision of Chapter 179. A person found guilty of such a violation may face a fine of up to $250, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both. Importantly, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 179-33, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any requirement of Chapter 179 risk criminal conviction, fines up to $250, and potential jail time of up to 15 days per offense. Because each day of non-compliance constitutes a distinct violation, operators who identify a potential issue generally act promptly to bring their property into compliance and document those corrective steps. Maintaining ongoing adherence to Chapter 179's requirements is the standard practice for avoiding compounding liability.

Section 179-33 gives Chapter 179 its enforcement teeth by establishing that violations are criminal offenses under New York Penal Law, carrying fines and possible imprisonment. Tenants who believe a landlord is in ongoing violation of Chapter 179 may report the matter to Albion Village's local code enforcement or municipal authorities, since each day of continued non-compliance can be charged as a separate offense. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal codes can help residents understand what options may be available to them.
