Syracuse, N.Y., Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-17
Penalties
Operative Text
Penalties for violations of this chapter shall be applied in accordance with Section 27-120 of the Syracuse Property Conservation Code and to the extent applicable, Article 13 of the Syracuse Property Conservation Code establishing the bureau of administrative adjudication.
Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 § 54-17 establishes that violations of Chapter 54 carry penalties determined by cross-referencing Section 27-120 of the Syracuse Property Conservation Code. The administrative process for adjudicating those penalties is governed by Article 13 of the same code, which created the bureau of administrative adjudication. In effect, this provision ties the rental-regulation chapter's enforcement consequences to the city's broader property conservation penalty framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Chapter 54 should be aware that § 54-17 of Syracuse Rev. Gen. Ord. ch. 54 links any violations directly to the penalty structure in Section 27-120 of the Syracuse Property Conservation Code. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with both that penalty schedule and the adjudication procedures set out in Article 13 of the Property Conservation Code, since those rules govern how violations are formally heard and resolved. Maintaining thorough records of compliance efforts is a common practice when operating under a framework that routes enforcement through an administrative adjudication bureau.
