Great Neck Plaza, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 124 § 124-61 establishes that any failure to comply with the housing code—or with a violation order issued by the enforcement agency—constitutes a punishable offense. Penalties can reach up to $250 and/or up to 15 days of imprisonment per violation. Critically, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent violation, meaning penalties can accumulate over time.
