Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Whenever the owner or occupant of any lot or parcel of land fronting on a public street in the Village of Coxsackie shall fail to maintain the grass, weeds and brush on the premises and in the right-of-way as specified in § 106-4F above, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works to cut the same, and the expense thereof shall be a lien upon the property and shall be charged and assessed against the same. B. Violations of this chapter shall be punishable by a maximum fine or by imprisonment, as determined by the schedule adopted by the Village Board of Trustees by the Village of Coxsackie.
Coxsackie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-11 establishes two consequences for failing to keep grass, weeds, and brush trimmed on property fronting a public street. First, if the owner or occupant does not maintain the vegetation as required, the Village's Superintendent of Public Works may step in and perform the work, with the cost becoming a lien charged against the property. Second, any violation of the chapter is subject to a fine or imprisonment, with the specific amounts and terms set by a schedule adopted by the Village Board of Trustees.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Coxsackie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-11, property owners who front a public street generally keep grass, weeds, and brush trimmed in accordance with § 106-4F to avoid triggering municipal intervention. Compliant operators stay current with the penalty schedule adopted by the Village Board of Trustees, since fines or imprisonment can result from violations. If the Village performs the maintenance itself, the cost is assessed as a lien against the property, which can affect title and financing.

Coxsackie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-11 makes clear that responsibility for vegetation maintenance on street-fronting property can fall on an 'occupant' as well as an owner, meaning tenants may have obligations under this chapter. If a violation is cited, the penalty schedule set by the Village Board of Trustees governs the potential fine or imprisonment exposure. Tenants who receive a notice of violation or have questions about their responsibilities under this provision may wish to review the Village's current penalty schedule or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local ordinances.
