Nyack, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 263 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 263-18
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not more than $500 for a first offense, $1,000 for a second offense, and $1,500 for a third offense. In the case of a violation of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, each day a violation continues unabated, after notice to comply is served, shall constitute a separate finable offense.
Section 263-18 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances establishes a graduated fine structure for violations of Chapter 263, starting at up to $500 for a first offense, up to $1,000 for a second, and up to $1,500 for a third. When the violation involves the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, each day the violation continues after a notice to comply has been served counts as its own separate offense. This means that unaddressed building or fire code violations can accumulate into multiple fines over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Nyack's Chapter 263 should be aware that § 263-18 imposes escalating fines for repeat violations, so prompt correction of any cited condition is a standard part of compliant property management. When a notice to comply is served for a New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code issue, each additional day without remediation can be treated as a new, independently finable offense. Maintaining records of corrective actions taken in response to any notice helps demonstrate good-faith compliance with the chapter's requirements.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 263-18 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances provides that landlords or other responsible parties who violate Chapter 263 face fines that increase with each offense, and that building or fire code violations left unaddressed after a notice to comply can generate daily penalties. Tenants who believe a property condition violates the chapter or the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code may report concerns to the appropriate Nyack municipal enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand how § 263-18 and related code provisions may apply to conditions in their housing.
