Under Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 184 § 184-4, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Chapter 184 face potential fines and even imprisonment upon conviction. Because each week of non-compliance constitutes a separate offense, operators who identify a potential violation generally act promptly to bring their property into compliance to avoid escalating exposure.

Delhi, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 184 § 184-4 provides that violations of Chapter 184 carry criminal penalties, which means tenants who believe their landlord is in violation may have grounds to report the matter to local code enforcement or municipal authorities. Because each week of ongoing non-compliance is treated as a separate offense, a continuing problem may give rise to repeated violations. Tenants can also consult a local tenant-rights organization to better understand what reporting options or legal defenses may be available to them.
