Operative Text
A. Any person, firm or corporation who or which fails to obtain a permit as required by this chapter or comply with a written notice or order of the Code Enforcement Officer within the fixed period of time and any person, firm or corporation who or which violates any provision of the Uniform Code or any rule or regulation of this chapter or the terms or conditions of any lawful notice, order, directive, permit or certificate of occupancy issued by the Code Enforcement Officer shall be liable to a civil penalty of not more than $100 for each day or part thereof which such violation continues and/or subject to a fine or not more than $1,000 per day of violation or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, pursuant to § 382 of the Executive Law. B. A violation of this chapter shall constitute a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York. For the purpose of conferring jurisdiction upon the courts and judicial officers generally, violations of this chapter shall be deemed misdemeanors, and, for such purpose only, all provisions of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to such violations.
Section 190-10 of Elbridge's Code of Ordinances establishes penalties for anyone who fails to obtain a required permit, ignores a written order from the Code Enforcement Officer, or violates any provision of the Uniform Code or related rules. Civil penalties can reach up to $100 for each day a violation continues, and separate criminal penalties can include fines of up to $1,000 per day, imprisonment of up to one year, or both, under New York Executive Law § 382. The provision also classifies such violations as misdemeanors under New York Penal Law, giving courts jurisdiction to hear these cases.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 190-10, compliant property owners and managers in Elbridge ensure that all required permits are obtained before work begins and that any written notices or orders from the Code Enforcement Officer are addressed within the timeframes specified. Because penalties accrue on a per-day basis—up to $100 in civil penalties and up to $1,000 in criminal fines for each day of violation—operators generally treat outstanding notices as time-sensitive matters. Maintaining organized records of permits, certificates of occupancy, and correspondence with the Code Enforcement Officer is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance with this chapter.
