Greenwood Lake, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 116 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 116-7
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Violations of this article will constitute a municipal infraction and will be subject to applicable penalties under this article in addition to those imposed by any other applicable code or ordinance, including, without limitation, Chapter 38 , Building Construction, or Chapter 40 , Buildings, Unsafe. B. Penalties for violations of these regulations will be set by resolution of the Village Board. C. Each day a violation continues following the period specified in the relevant accusatory instrument shall constitute a separate and distinct violation for purposes of setting penalties.
Section 116-7 of Greenwood Lake's rental regulations establishes that any violation of the article is treated as a municipal infraction, potentially subject to penalties under multiple local codes simultaneously, including building and unsafe-structures chapters. The Village Board sets the specific penalty amounts by resolution rather than fixing them in the ordinance itself, meaning the dollar figures can change over time. Critically, once the deadline stated in an accusatory instrument passes, each additional day the violation persists counts as a new, separate violation for penalty-calculation purposes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 116-7, operators who receive an accusatory instrument have a defined window to cure any cited violation before each subsequent day begins generating an independent infraction. Because the Village Board sets penalty amounts by resolution, property managers should periodically confirm the current penalty schedule with the Village of Greenwood Lake directly. Maintaining documented compliance timelines and prompt remediation records is a standard practice for operators subject to this provision.

Section 116-7 means that a landlord's failure to correct a cited violation does not simply remain a single infraction — it can multiply day by day after the cure deadline, which may strengthen the overall enforcement picture. Tenants who believe a violation is ongoing can inquire with the Village of Greenwood Lake about the status of any accusatory instrument and the current penalty schedule set by Village Board resolution. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal code enforcement can help residents understand how this provision interacts with other applicable chapters, such as Chapter 38 or Chapter 40.
