Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 157-26
Enforcement
Operative Text
In addition to the above provided violations and penalties, the Village Board may also maintain an action or proceeding in the name of the Village of Red Creek in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or restrain by injunction the violation of any provisions of this chapter.
Section 157-26 of Red Creek's Code of Ordinances grants the Village Board an additional enforcement tool beyond standard fines and penalties: the ability to go to court in the Village's name to either compel compliance with the chapter's requirements or obtain an injunction to stop an ongoing violation. This means that civil litigation, including requests for court orders, is an available remedy on top of whatever other penalties the chapter already authorizes. The provision does not replace existing enforcement mechanisms but supplements them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 157-26, a property owner or manager should be aware that noncompliance with Chapter 157 can expose them not only to the fines and penalties described elsewhere in the chapter, but also to court-ordered injunctions or mandated corrective action initiated by the Village Board itself. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with Chapter 157 reduce their exposure to this form of legal action. Keeping documentation of compliance efforts is a practice commonly associated with responsible property management under provisions like § 157-26.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 157-26 reflects that the Village of Red Creek has meaningful enforcement authority beyond issuing fines — the Village Board can seek court orders to stop violations or force compliance with Chapter 157 on behalf of the community. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 157 may find it useful to bring concerns to the Village Board or relevant Village officials, who hold this litigation authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization can help tenants understand how § 157-26's enforcement mechanisms interact with any individual remedies that may be available under the chapter.
