Section 148-5 of Saugerties Village's Code of Ordinances establishes financial penalties for violations of Chapter 148.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 148-5, property owners and managers who receive a notice and order from the Department should treat compliance as time-sensitive, since fines accrue on a per-day basis. A compliant operator generally addresses cited conditions promptly and documents corrective actions to demonstrate that a violation has been resolved. Because fines can accumulate daily between $250 and $500, operators typically maintain properties in a manner that avoids violations in the first place.

Section 148-5 establishes that violations of Chapter 148 carry daily financial penalties, which can be a meaningful enforcement lever when a landlord fails to address housing conditions. Tenants who believe their landlord is violating Chapter 148 or ignoring a Department notice and order may consider filing a complaint with the relevant local Department to trigger formal enforcement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Saugerties Village ordinances can help residents understand what options are generally available under this provision.
