Plain English

West Seneca, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 § 80-6 establishes that any individual, group, or corporate entity that violates any part of Chapter 80 may face a fine of up to $250, a jail term of up to 15 days, or both, for each separate offense committed. The rule applies broadly to all persons and entities subject to the chapter, not just a single category of actor. Each distinct violation is treated as its own offense, meaning multiple infractions can each carry their own penalty.
