Yonkers, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 58 § 58-26 establishes a fee structure for boiler operating permits in the city. Building owners must pay $250 per boiler annually, though the total fee for any single building is capped at $1,000 per year. Fees not paid by June 15 of the applicable year trigger a late charge equal to twice the original fee amount, and a one-time $25-per-boiler credit was available for qualifying 2019 renewal applications submitted on time.

Under ch. 58 § 58-26, compliant building operators in Yonkers pay the required boiler permit fee—$250 per boiler, up to a $1,000 annual cap per building—before the June 15 deadline each year to avoid the late charge, which doubles the fee owed. Operators generally ensure that all required information is submitted with renewal applications, since incomplete applications may be rejected outright. Keeping records of prior-year renewal submissions and payment receipts helps demonstrate timely compliance with the fee schedule.
