Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person committing an offense against this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or to both such fine and imprisonment. A continuation of an offense against the provisions of this chapter shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder.
South Glens Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 107 § 107-5 establishes criminal penalties for violations of Chapter 107, the village's rental housing ordinance. A convicted offender may face a fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both. Critically, each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate offense, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis until the underlying problem is corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 107-5, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Chapter 107 face potential fines and even short-term imprisonment upon criminal conviction. Because each day of a continuing violation counts as a distinct offense, unresolved issues can quickly multiply the total exposure. Operators who maintain properties in ongoing compliance with Chapter 107's requirements—addressing deficiencies promptly and documenting corrective actions—are generally best positioned to avoid the escalating penalties this section contemplates.

Section 107-5 of South Glens Falls's Code of Ordinances gives the village legal authority to pursue criminal penalties against anyone who violates Chapter 107, including landlords who fail to meet their obligations under that chapter. If a landlord's violation persists day after day, each day can be charged as a separate offense, which may provide additional leverage for enforcement. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 107 may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate village code enforcement office or consulting a tenant-rights organization to understand what enforcement paths may be available.
