Section 94-50 of Clarkson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 94 establishes penalties for violations of the article's provisions. A violator may face a criminal fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both, plus a separate civil penalty of $50. When a violation continues over time, each 24-hour period is treated as its own distinct violation, and the imposition of these penalties does not prevent the town from also revoking any applicable license.

Operators subject to Clarkson Code ch. 94 § 94-50 generally maintain ongoing compliance with all provisions of the article, since each day a violation persists can be counted as a separate offense carrying its own $50 civil penalty on top of potential criminal fines. Compliant operators typically conduct regular reviews of their practices to ensure no provision of the article is being continuously violated. Keeping records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate good-faith efforts to address any issues that arise.
