Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 12-169
Other legal action
Operative Text
The Village Attorney shall, upon complaint of the Commissioner or upon order of the Board of Trustees or upon his own motion, institute appropriate action to restrain, prevent, enjoin, abate, correct or remove such violation and to take such other legal action as is necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this chapter. The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law. Any and all remedies may be pursued concurrently or consecutively and the pursuit of any remedy shall not be construed as an election of the waiver of the right to pursue any and all of the others.
Section 12-169 of Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 authorizes the Village Attorney to take legal action—including seeking injunctions, abatements, or corrections—to address violations of the chapter. The provision makes clear that all available remedies can be used simultaneously or in sequence, and choosing one remedy does not forfeit the right to pursue others. This means that a single violation could be addressed through multiple legal channels at the same time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-169, property owners and managers should understand that the Village Attorney can act on a complaint from the Commissioner, a directive from the Board of Trustees, or independently to pursue legal remedies for chapter violations. Because remedies are explicitly cumulative, a landlord facing a violation may be subject to injunctive relief, abatement orders, and other legal actions all at once. Operators generally maintain ongoing compliance with ch. 12 to avoid exposure to this broad, multi-track enforcement authority.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 12-169 establishes that tenants or the Commissioner can trigger legal action by the Village Attorney against a landlord who is violating ch. 12 of the Tuckahoe Code. Because the provision allows multiple remedies to be pursued at the same time, a complaint can set in motion a range of enforcement responses rather than just one. Tenants who believe a violation exists may consider filing a complaint with the Commissioner or contacting a local tenant-rights organization to understand what enforcement paths are available under this provision.
