Haverstraw Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 169 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 169-18
Violations and penalties
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a minimum fine of $500. Each week a violation continues unabated, after notice to comply is served, shall constitute a separate finable offense.
Section 169-18 of Haverstraw Village's Code of Ordinances establishes that any individual, business, or corporation found guilty of violating the rental regulations in Chapter 169 faces a minimum fine of $500 upon conviction. Importantly, the violation does not result in just one penalty: each week the violation continues after a notice to comply has been served counts as a distinct, separately punishable offense. This means that unaddressed violations can accumulate into multiple fines over time.

Under § 169-18, property owners and managers who receive a notice to comply with Chapter 169 requirements should treat it with urgency, as the clock starts running immediately upon service of that notice. Compliant operators generally document corrective actions taken and the dates those actions were completed, creating a clear record that the violation was resolved promptly. Because each week of continued non-compliance constitutes a separate finable offense with a minimum $500 fine per offense, swift remediation is a hallmark of responsible property management under this provision.

Section 169-18 gives enforcement teeth to the rest of Chapter 169 by establishing that landlords who fail to correct violations after receiving notice can face escalating fines—at least $500 per week of continued non-compliance. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 169 may consider reporting the issue to Haverstraw Village's code enforcement office, which has the authority to issue notices to comply and pursue penalties. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Haverstraw Village ordinances can help residents understand what options are generally available when a landlord is not meeting their obligations under this chapter.
