Enforcement; penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. The Town's Code Enforcement Officer or designee, Law Enforcement Officer, or other peace officer are authorized to enforce this chapter, including via the issuance of appearance tickets. B. Failure to comply with any provision of this chapter shall constitute a violation, and, upon a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be subject to a civil penalty in the minimum amount of $150, up to a maximum amount of $375. C. An action or proceeding in the name of the Town of Henrietta may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or restrain by injunction the violation of any provision of this chapter. Such remedy shall be in addition to penalties otherwise prescribed by law. D. No remedy or penalty set forth herein shall be the exclusive remedy available, and each remedy or penalty set forth herein shall be in addition to other remedies which may be available to the Town, including, in particular, but not limited to, any penalties available under NY State Law.
Section 215-6 of Henrietta, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 establishes how the town's rental regulations are enforced and what consequences follow a violation. Enforcement authority rests with the Town's Code Enforcement Officer, law enforcement officers, and peace officers, who may issue appearance tickets. A court finding a violation can impose a civil penalty between $150 and $375, and the town may also seek injunctive relief to stop ongoing violations—remedies that stack on top of any penalties available under New York State law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under ch. 215 should be aware that Section 215-6 gives multiple town officials—including the Code Enforcement Officer and law enforcement—the authority to issue appearance tickets for non-compliance. A compliant operator generally keeps rental units and practices aligned with every provision of the chapter, since each separate violation can result in a court-imposed civil penalty and potentially an injunction requiring corrective action. Because the ordinance explicitly preserves additional remedies under New York State law, operators typically treat town-level compliance as a floor, not a ceiling.

Section 215-6 gives tenants context for how ch. 215 is enforced: the town itself—not individual tenants—initiates civil penalty proceedings and injunctive actions in court. If a tenant believes a landlord is violating a provision of ch. 215, one general path is to report the concern to the Town of Henrietta's Code Enforcement Office, which is authorized to investigate and issue appearance tickets. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Monroe County housing law can help explain how town-level enforcement under Section 215-6 interacts with any parallel rights available under New York State law.
