For Property Managers

Freeport, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 167 § 167-2 makes clear that each distinct violation of the article carries its own penalty, so operators who manage multiple units or engage in repeated non-compliant conduct face compounding exposure. Compliant property owners and managers generally maintain thorough records of their practices under this article to demonstrate adherence to each of its requirements. Because fines can escalate quickly when each act constitutes a separate offense, operators typically conduct regular internal reviews to identify and correct any potential issues before they result in enforcement action.
