Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Any person, partnership, association or corporation who violates any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of an offense against this chapter and subject to a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500. When a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is continuous, each day or portion thereof shall constitute a separate and distinct violation. B. In addition to the above-provided penalties, the Building Inspector may maintain a civil action or proceeding in the name of the Town in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with this chapter or to restrain, by injunction, the violation of this chapter.
Section 150-8 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes penalties for violations of Chapter 150. Any individual, partnership, association, or corporation found in violation faces a fine ranging from $100 to $500, and when a violation continues over time, each day or partial day counts as a separate offense. Beyond monetary fines, the Building Inspector is authorized to pursue civil legal action on behalf of the Town to compel compliance or seek an injunction stopping the violation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 150 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances should be aware that non-compliance can result in fines between $100 and $500 per day or partial day that a violation persists, under § 150-8. Compliant operators generally address any identified deficiencies promptly to avoid accumulating separate daily violations. The Building Inspector also holds authority to initiate civil proceedings against non-compliant parties, meaning ongoing violations can lead to court-ordered remedies beyond financial penalties.

Section 150-8 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances gives the Building Inspector the power to enforce Chapter 150 through both fines and civil court action on behalf of the Town. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 150 may consider reporting the issue to the Town's Building Inspector, who can initiate enforcement proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal codes can help residents understand what options may be available when a violation is ongoing.
