Mount Vernon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 211 § 211-18
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter or of the regulations of the Commissioner or any other City agency affecting the conduct of the business licensed hereunder shall be subject, in addition to the imposition of any applicable fines or penalties as provided in Article II of Chapter 1 , General Provisions, to the suspension or revocation of the said license.
Section 211-18 of Mount Vernon's Code of Ordinances establishes that anyone who violates the provisions of Chapter 211, or any related regulations issued by the Commissioner or another City agency governing the licensed business, faces two distinct consequences: the standard fines and penalties set out in Article II of Chapter 1 (General Provisions), and the potential suspension or revocation of their license. These penalties are cumulative, meaning both financial and licensing consequences can apply simultaneously. The provision applies broadly to any person engaged in the regulated business activity.

Property owners and managers operating under a license governed by Chapter 211 of the Mount Vernon Code are generally expected to maintain full compliance with all Chapter 211 provisions as well as any regulations issued by the Commissioner or other City agencies related to their licensed activity. Under § 211-18, a compliant operator keeps records current, follows all applicable agency directives, and avoids conduct that could trigger both monetary penalties under Article II of Chapter 1 and license suspension or revocation. Operators typically conduct periodic internal reviews to ensure ongoing adherence to all regulatory requirements tied to their license.
