Endicott, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 160 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 160-11
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any violation of any provision of this chapter or any provision of any rule or regulation adopted by the enforcement officer pursuant to authority granted by this chapter shall be deemed a violation, and any person found guilty thereof shall be liable to a fine a minimum of $500 or $10 per day per violation, whichever is greater or to imprisonment not to exceed one year, or to both such fine and imprisonment, and each day's failure to comply with such provision, rule or regulation shall constitute a separate violation.
Section 160-11 of Endicott's Code of Ordinances Chapter 160 establishes penalties for anyone who violates any provision of the chapter or any rule or regulation adopted by the enforcement officer under its authority. A person found guilty faces a fine of at least $500 or $10 per day per violation—whichever is greater—and may also face imprisonment of up to one year, or both. Critically, each day that a violation continues counts as a separate, independent offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 160-11 of Endicott Code Chapter 160, compliant property operators generally act promptly to correct any cited deficiency, since each day of non-compliance is treated as a new violation and fines can compound quickly. Operators typically maintain records showing when corrective actions were taken, which can help demonstrate timely compliance to the enforcement officer. Staying current with any rules or regulations adopted by the enforcement officer under Chapter 160 is also part of standard compliance practice.

Section 160-11 of Endicott Code Chapter 160 provides that violations of housing rules carry meaningful financial and legal consequences for those found guilty, including escalating daily fines. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating a provision of Chapter 160 may consider documenting the condition with dates, since the per-day penalty structure means the duration of a violation is legally significant. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing offices can help residents understand how to report a potential violation to the enforcement officer and what options may be available.
