Section 95-9 of Wolcott's Code of Ordinances establishes that any individual, firm, or corporation that fails to comply with the requirements of Chapter 95 commits an offense classified as disorderly conduct. Upon conviction, the violating party may be fined up to $100 per offense, consistent with § 93 of the Village Law. Importantly, each week that a violation continues is treated as a distinct, separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.

Operators generally document their compliance efforts and address any identified issues promptly to avoid the compounding effect of weekly violations. Staying current with the chapter's requirements is the standard practice for avoiding exposure to these penalties.

Section 95-9 establishes that violations of Chapter 95 carry real legal consequences for those responsible, including fines of up to $100 per offense and an additional offense for every week the violation continues. Tenants who believe a landlord is failing to comply with Chapter 95 may report the ongoing condition to the appropriate Wolcott municipal authority, as the weekly accumulation provision can make prolonged non-compliance increasingly significant.
