Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-27
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Any person who pursuant to this chapter fails to comply with an order issued by the bureau within the time stated thereon shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine as prescribed in § 382 of the Executive Law. B. Each day after conviction that such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. The term "person," as used in this section, shall include the owner, occupant, mortgagee or vendee in possession, assignee of rents, receiver, executor, trustee, lessee, agent or any other person, firm or corporation directly or indirectly in control of a building or part thereof.
Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-27 establishes that anyone who fails to comply with a bureau order within the required timeframe may, upon conviction, face a fine set by New York Executive Law § 382. Crucially, each day the violation continues after conviction counts as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time. The rule casts a wide net for who qualifies as a 'person,' covering owners, occupants, lenders, receivers, agents, corporations, and others who exercise control over a building or any part of it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-27, compliant property owners and managers typically act promptly on any bureau order, resolving the cited condition before the stated deadline to avoid conviction and fines. Because each day following conviction that a violation persists is treated as a distinct offense, the financial exposure can grow substantially the longer a condition goes unaddressed. Operators generally maintain documentation showing when corrective actions were completed, which can be important if compliance timing is ever questioned.

Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-27 provides that a broad range of parties—including owners, lessees, and agents—can be held accountable for failing to follow bureau orders, which may be relevant if a tenant believes a responsible party is ignoring an outstanding order. Tenants who believe a violation is ongoing may consider contacting the Peekskill bureau that issued the original order to report continued non-compliance, since each day after conviction can constitute a new offense. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County housing law can help explain what options may be available in a given situation.
