Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person, upon conviction of a violation of this chapter, shall be fined $100 for the first offense and $200 for the second or any subsequent offense within a twelve-month period. In addition, such person shall be subject to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both fine and imprisonment, should the violation continue. The continuation of any offense against the provisions of this chapter shall constitute, for each week the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.
Section 75-5 of Goshen, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 75 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the chapter. A first offense carries a $100 fine upon conviction, while a second or subsequent offense within a twelve-month period results in a $200 fine. If a violation continues, the offending party may also face up to 15 days of imprisonment, and each week the violation persists is treated as a separate, distinct offense.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Goshen, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 75 generally act promptly to correct any cited violations, since § 75-5 treats each week of continued non-compliance as an independent offense. A compliant operator keeps records of corrective actions taken after any notice of violation to demonstrate that the issue was resolved rather than allowed to persist. Because repeat offenses within a twelve-month window trigger higher fines and potential imprisonment, operators typically establish internal processes to prevent recurring violations.
