Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation who violates, disobeys, neglects or refuses to comply with the provisions of § 162-7 and/or § 162-9 of this article shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to a fine of not less than $250 nor more than $1,000. Each week a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
Owego Village Code ch. 162 § 162-14 establishes financial penalties for anyone—individual, firm, or corporation—who fails to comply with the rental registration and inspection requirements set out in §§ 162-7 and 162-9. A violation carries a fine ranging from $250 to $1,000, and each week the violation persists is treated as a distinct, separately punishable offense. This means that an unresolved noncompliance issue can accumulate multiple fines over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Owego Village Code ch. 162 § 162-14 generally maintain compliance with §§ 162-7 and 162-9 by completing required registrations and inspections on time and addressing any cited deficiencies promptly. Because each week of continued noncompliance constitutes a separate offense under § 162-14, operators typically resolve outstanding issues as quickly as possible to avoid compounding fines between $250 and $1,000 per week. Keeping thorough records of registrations, inspection results, and corrective actions supports a demonstrable compliance posture.
