Geneseo, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 96 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 96-67
Levies upon real property
Operative Text
To the fullest extent authorized under the Village Law, the Board of Trustees shall have the authority to issue levies against the owner's real property for fines and/or fees due under this chapter.
Section 96-67 of Geneseo's Code of Ordinances authorizes the Village's Board of Trustees to place levies—essentially legal claims or charges—directly against a property owner's real estate when fines or fees owed under Chapter 96 remain unpaid. This mechanism ties unpaid monetary obligations to the property itself, rather than relying solely on personal collection efforts. The authority to do so extends to the full limits permitted by New York Village Law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 96-67, property owners in Geneseo should be aware that outstanding fines or fees assessed under Chapter 96 can be converted into levies attached to the real property itself. Compliant operators generally resolve any assessed fines or fees promptly to prevent a lien-like encumbrance from being placed on their property by the Board of Trustees. Keeping records of payments and maintaining communication with the Village can help ensure that no unresolved balances remain on file.

Section 96-67 primarily concerns the Village's enforcement tools against property owners, but tenants may find it relevant when evaluating whether a landlord is in good standing with local housing obligations under Chapter 96. If a property has outstanding levies due to unpaid fines or fees, that information may be relevant to housing conditions or ownership accountability. Tenants can contact the Village of Geneseo directly or consult a tenant-rights organization to learn how to access public records about any levies placed on a rental property.
