Wheatfield, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 114-11
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 or imprisonment not to exceed 15 days, or both such fine and imprisonment. The imposition of any penalty for a violation of this chapter shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue.
Chapter 114, Section 114-11 of Wheatfield, N.Y.'s Code of Ordinances establishes consequences for anyone who violates any part of Chapter 114. A violation can result in a fine of up to $250, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both. Importantly, receiving a penalty does not excuse the underlying violation or allow it to persist — the offending condition must still be corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114-11, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Chapter 114 face potential fines and even short-term imprisonment, and paying a fine does not eliminate the obligation to fix the underlying issue. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with Chapter 114's requirements avoid both the financial penalties and the ongoing correction obligations this section imposes. Keeping thorough maintenance records and promptly addressing any identified violations are practices generally associated with compliant property management under this framework.

Section 114-11 makes clear that violations of Chapter 114 carry real consequences for those responsible, and that a penalty alone does not resolve the violation — the problem must still be remedied. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 114 may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the appropriate local code enforcement authority in Wheatfield. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what options are generally available when a violation under § 114-11 appears to be ongoing.
