Under North Adams, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 26 § 26-7, any violation of the city's rent-related ordinance or any order issued by the board may result in a fine of up to $1,000 per offense. The provision establishes a ceiling on the monetary penalty but does not set a mandatory minimum. Each separate offense is treated as its own punishable event, meaning multiple violations could each carry their own fine.
