Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 141-14, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any requirement of Chapter 141 face escalating exposure, since each day of non-compliance is treated as a separate offense carrying up to a $250 fine and/or 15 days of imprisonment. Operators who identify a potential violation generally move promptly to correct it, recognizing that a paid fine does not satisfy the underlying obligation to come into compliance. Maintaining documented records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate good-faith efforts to meet the chapter's requirements.

Section 141-14 signals that the village of Castleton-on-Hudson treats Chapter 141 violations seriously, with penalties that compound daily and cannot simply be paid off while the violation continues. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating a provision of Chapter 141 may consider reporting the issue to the appropriate local code enforcement authority, which has the power to pursue fines and other sanctions. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what Chapter 141 requires and what options may be available when a violation is ongoing.
