Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Babylon Village Code ch. 269 § 269-2, property owners and managers are expected to maintain continuous compliance with all provisions of this article, since each day a violation persists can be charged as a new, independent offense. A compliant operator generally conducts regular reviews of their rental practices to ensure no provision of the article is being breached. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to pursue injunctive relief in addition to, or instead of, criminal penalties, meaning non-compliance can result in court-ordered corrective action beyond fines.
