Saugerties Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-16
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Every person convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall, for the first conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500; for a second or subsequent conviction within 12 months after any previous conviction, such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than $200 and not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
Section 142-16 of Saugerties Village's Code of Ordinances establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of Chapter 142. A first conviction carries a fine between $100 and $500, while a second or subsequent conviction within 12 months of a prior one can result in a fine of $200 to $1,000, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both. Notably, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate rapidly over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 142 in Saugerties Village should be aware that § 142-16 imposes escalating consequences for repeated or ongoing noncompliance. Because each day of a continuing violation counts as a distinct offense, operators who promptly correct any identified deficiency generally avoid the compounding exposure that comes with delay. Maintaining records of corrective actions taken in response to any notice of violation is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating good-faith compliance.
