Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 155-14
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any owner, lessee, tenant, general agent, architect, builder, contractor, subcontractor, workman, employee or any other person, unless stated otherwise herein, who knowingly commits, takes part or assists in any violation of this chapter or who maintains any building or premises in which any violation of this chapter shall exist shall, for each and every violation and for each and every day that such violation continues, forfeit and pay a penalty of not more than $500. Any violation of this chapter or any part thereof, shall constitute disorderly conduct, and any person violating the same shall be and is hereby declared a disorderly person.
Section 155-14 of Cedarhurst's Code of Ordinances establishes penalties for violations of Chapter 155, the village's building and premises regulations. Anyone who knowingly participates in, assists with, or allows a violation to persist — including owners, tenants, contractors, and employees — may be fined up to $500 for each individual violation and for each day that violation continues. The provision also classifies any such violation as disorderly conduct, making the violator a 'disorderly person' under the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Cedarhurst Code § 155-14, property owners and managers are generally expected to maintain buildings and premises in continuous compliance with Chapter 155, since penalties accrue on a per-violation, per-day basis up to $500 each. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections, promptly address any identified code deficiencies, and ensure that contractors and agents working on their properties are also operating within the chapter's requirements. Because the penalty structure compounds daily, unresolved violations can accumulate significant financial exposure over time.

Section 155-14 of the Cedarhurst Code applies broadly, meaning tenants who knowingly participate in or assist with a Chapter 155 violation may also face penalties — not just property owners. Tenants who believe a landlord is maintaining premises in violation of Chapter 155 may have grounds to raise that violation in relevant proceedings or report concerns to the appropriate village enforcement authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Cedarhurst's local ordinances can help clarify what options may be available in a given situation.
