Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation who or which shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a fine of not more than $250 and/or imprisonment of not more than 15 days as provided in the Penal Law. Each day that said violation exists shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter.
Chapter 62, Section 62-17 of the Greenwood Lake Code of Ordinances establishes penalties for violations of the chapter's rental housing provisions. Any individual, firm, or corporation found in violation may face a fine of up to $250 and/or up to 15 days of imprisonment per the Penal Law. Critically, each day a violation continues is treated as a distinct, separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 62-17, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Chapter 62 face fines of up to $250 per day, as well as potential imprisonment of up to 15 days. Because each day of non-compliance constitutes its own separate violation, operators who identify a potential issue generally move promptly to bring their property into compliance to limit exposure. Maintaining thorough records of corrective actions taken is a common practice among compliant operators.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 62-17 gives enforcement teeth to the rest of Chapter 62 by establishing that violations can result in fines and even imprisonment, with each day of a continuing violation counted separately. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 62 may report the issue to the appropriate local municipal authority in Greenwood Lake, which can initiate enforcement proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what conduct qualifies as a violation and what documentation may be useful when raising a concern.
