Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 186 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 186-15
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Any violation of this article shall be a violation punishable in accordance with the general penalty provisions under § 1-12 , Penalties for offenses against Code provisions, of the Village Code of the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, with said penalties to be in addition to the revocation of a rental unit registration certificate issued under the provisions of this article. In addition, the annual registration fee will double 30 days after the due date has passed and a second invoice for payment and demand for renewal registration has been sent first-class mail to the owner. In addition, a summons will be issued 60 days after the due date has passed and a fine in the amount of $75 will be imposed in addition to all outstanding registration fees and late charges. Furthermore, a notice to vacate may be issued and all tenants ordered to vacate for failure of the owner to register a rental unit 30 days after the due date has passed and upon written notice to the owner and occupants.
Section 186-15 of Croton-on-Hudson's Code of Ordinances establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the village's rental registration article. Landlords who miss registration deadlines face escalating consequences: the annual registration fee doubles 30 days after the due date, a $75 fine plus a summons is issued at 60 days past due, and a notice to vacate may be issued for all tenants if the owner still has not registered. These financial penalties are imposed on top of any general penalties under § 1-12 of the Village Code and may include revocation of the rental unit registration certificate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Croton-on-Hudson Code ch. 186 § 186-15 generally maintain current rental unit registration certificates and pay annual fees on time to avoid the provision's escalating consequences. A compliant operator tracks the registration due date carefully, since fees double after 30 days, a $75 fine and summons follow at 60 days, and continued non-compliance can trigger a notice to vacate affecting all tenants in the unit. Keeping records of timely payments and renewal submissions helps demonstrate compliance if a question about registration status arises.

Under Croton-on-Hudson Code ch. 186 § 186-15, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their rental unit is properly registered, because an owner's failure to register can ultimately result in a notice to vacate being issued to all occupants. If a tenant believes their landlord has not complied with the village's rental registration requirements, they may contact the Village of Croton-on-Hudson directly to inquire about registration status or file a complaint. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westchester County housing rules can help tenants understand what options may be available when a landlord's non-compliance under § 186-15 affects their housing.
