Dering Harbor, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-10
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A violation of this chapter is hereby declared to be an offense punishable by a fine of $250 for each offence. Each day that a violation shall continue shall constitute a separate additional violation. The election of these penalties by the Village shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Village.
Chapter 150, Section 150-10 of Dering Harbor's Code of Ordinances establishes that any violation of Chapter 150 is treated as a punishable offense carrying a $250 fine. Importantly, each day a violation continues is counted as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis. The Village's decision to pursue these financial penalties does not give up any other legal rights the Village may hold.

Under Dering Harbor Code ch. 150 § 150-10, property owners and managers are expected to bring their properties into full compliance with Chapter 150 promptly, because each calendar day of non-compliance can trigger an additional $250 fine. Compliant operators typically conduct regular self-audits to identify and correct any potential violations before they are cited. Keeping dated records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate good-faith efforts toward compliance.

Section 150-10 of Dering Harbor's Code ch. 150 gives the Village authority to fine landlords $250 per day for ongoing violations of Chapter 150, which can create meaningful financial pressure for swift correction of problems. Tenants who believe a landlord is in violation of Chapter 150 may consider documenting the issue with dates and photographs, as the per-day penalty structure means prolonged violations carry escalating consequences. Consulting a local tenant-rights organization or municipal office can help tenants understand what reporting or complaint options may be available to them.
