Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 215 § 215-47 establishes criminal penalties for violations of Chapter 215, the village's rent-related ordinance. A person found guilty of an offense may face a fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both. Crucially, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 215-47, property owners and managers operating in Larchmont are expected to maintain continuous compliance with Chapter 215, because each day a violation persists is counted as a distinct offense. A compliant operator generally addresses any identified deficiency promptly to avoid the compounding effect of daily penalties. Keeping thorough records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate good-faith efforts to comply with the chapter's requirements.

Section 215-47 of Larchmont's Code of Ordinances provides that violations of Chapter 215 carry criminal penalties, which means ongoing non-compliance by a landlord can result in mounting daily charges against the offending party. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 215 may consider documenting the issue with dates, since the day-by-day penalty structure makes the timeline of a violation relevant. General enforcement paths can include reporting the concern to the appropriate village authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Larchmont's local ordinances.
