Great Neck, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 321 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 321-61
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Every person who shall fail to comply with any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter. B. Every person who shall fail to comply with a violation order issued by the agency within the time stated in said order shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter. C. Each day that a violation of this chapter is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter.
Great Neck, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 321 § 321-61 establishes that any failure to comply with the housing chapter's requirements constitutes a violation, and that ignoring an agency-issued violation order within its stated deadline is itself an additional violation. Critically, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense rather than a single ongoing infraction. This cumulative structure means that unresolved violations can multiply quickly over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 321 § 321-61, compliant property operators generally act promptly on any violation order issued by the agency, resolving the cited condition before the order's stated deadline to avoid each passing day being counted as a new, separate offense. Keeping records of corrective actions and completion dates is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating timely compliance. Because violations can compound on a per-day basis, operators typically treat agency orders as time-sensitive matters requiring immediate attention.
