Section 48-25 of Chenango's Code of Ordinances establishes the consequences for violating any provision of Chapter 48.

Importantly, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis.

Chapter 48, Section 48-25 of the Chenango Code makes clear that operators who fail to comply with Chapter 48 requirements face criminal-style penalties upon conviction. Because each day of non-compliance constitutes its own distinct offense, a property owner or manager generally acts promptly to correct any identified violation to avoid compounding fines or other consequences. Maintaining documented records of corrective actions taken in response to any notice of violation is a practice commonly associated with compliant operations.

Under Chenango Code § 48-25, violations of Chapter 48 carry penalties that can be enforced on a day-by-day basis, which means ongoing non-compliance by a landlord is not treated as a single event. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 48 may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate local code enforcement authority, which has the power to pursue action that could result in fines or other penalties against the offending party. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Chenango County can help residents understand what Chapter 48 covers and what local enforcement options may be available.
