Cedarhurst, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 155 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 155-15
Other remedies
Operative Text
A. In addition to the remedies hereinbefore provided, the Mayor, the Board of Trustees or the Building Official, acting in the name of the village, or any person aggrieved, acting in his or her own name, shall have the right and power to enforce the provisions of this chapter by injunction or otherwise as provided by law. B. The imposition of the penalties herein prescribed shall not preclude the Village Attorney from instituting any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent an unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, conversion, maintenance or use or to restrain, correct or abate a violation or to prevent an illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about any premises.
Section 155-15 of Cedarhurst's Code of Ordinances establishes that enforcement of the village's building and use regulations is not limited to fines or penalties alone. Both designated village officials—including the Mayor, Board of Trustees, and Building Official—and private individuals who have been harmed by a violation may seek court-ordered relief, such as an injunction, to stop or correct unlawful activity. Separately, the Village Attorney retains the authority to pursue legal action to halt, remedy, or prevent illegal construction, alterations, or uses regardless of whether penalties have already been imposed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 155-15, property owners and managers in Cedarhurst should understand that compliance obligations extend beyond simply paying any assessed fines. Village officials and aggrieved private parties alike may pursue injunctive or other court-ordered relief to compel correction of violations, meaning a penalty payment does not necessarily resolve an enforcement matter. Operators generally document all permitted work, maintain properties in conformance with approved uses, and address any noticed violations promptly to reduce exposure to parallel legal proceedings.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 155-15 gives residents and other aggrieved persons an independent right to seek court-ordered enforcement—such as an injunction—against violations of Cedarhurst's building and use regulations, separate from any action the village itself may take. This means a tenant who is directly harmed by an unlawful construction, conversion, or use at a property is not solely dependent on village officials to act. Tenants who believe they are aggrieved under ch. 155 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney to understand what enforcement paths, including private legal action, may be available to them.
