Under § 147-4 of New Hyde Park Code ch. 147, operators who fail to comply with any provision of Chapter 147 face criminal exposure at the Class A misdemeanor level, not merely a civil fine. Compliant property managers generally maintain thorough records of their adherence to all Chapter 147 requirements and address any potential violations promptly before they escalate. Because misdemeanor classification carries significant consequences, operators typically stay current with all local ordinance requirements and consult qualified legal counsel when questions arise.
