Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 222 § 222-5, compliant property owners and managers in Mamaroneck Village refrain from any conduct that violates the anti-discrimination standards set out in § 222-3, avoid transferring or re-renting a property to a third party once they have received notice that a discrimination complaint has been filed, and leave any officially posted complaint notices intact and undisturbed. Operators who follow these practices avoid exposure to criminal conviction, fines up to $250, potential jail time, and a court order compelling them to offer the housing unit to the complainant. Maintaining clear internal procedures for handling discrimination complaints helps ensure that staff at every level understand these obligations.

Ch. 222 § 222-5 gives tenants and housing applicants in Mamaroneck Village meaningful remedies when discrimination occurs: a convicted violator can be fined, jailed, or both, and a court may order that the housing premises be made available to the person who was wronged. If a landlord attempts to sell, rent, or mortgage the property to someone else after a complaint has been filed, that act itself constitutes a separate punishable offense under this section. Tenants who believe their rights under ch. 222 have been violated may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization, a fair housing agency, or consulting with an attorney to understand the complaint and enforcement process available to them.
