Section 108-14 of Montour Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 108 establishes that any breach of the chapter's requirements is treated as a criminal offense, carrying a potential fine of up to $250, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both. Importantly, the rule treats each week that a violation continues as a distinct, separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time. This structure is designed to encourage prompt correction of any violations rather than allowing them to persist.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 108-14 of Montour Falls Code Chapter 108, property owners and managers who fail to comply with the chapter's requirements face fines of up to $250 and/or up to 15 days of imprisonment per violation. Because each week of continued non-compliance counts as a new, independent violation, operators who address and correct issues promptly generally limit their exposure to compounding penalties. Compliant operators typically maintain records of corrective actions taken to demonstrate that violations were resolved in a timely manner.
