Harrison, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 232 § 232-3 establishes penalties for failing to comply with orders or notices issued under Chapter 232. A violation can result in a fine of up to $250, imprisonment of up to 15 days, or both, and each week that a violation continues is treated as a separate, additional offense. The Town of Harrison also retains the right to pursue any other legal remedies available to it beyond these criminal penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 232 § 232-3, property owners and managers who receive an order or notice under Chapter 232 are generally expected to act promptly to achieve compliance, since each week of continued non-compliance can be charged as a distinct offense. A compliant operator typically documents corrective actions taken in response to any such notice and keeps records showing the timeline of remediation. Because the Town of Harrison may also pursue additional legal remedies beyond fines and imprisonment, unresolved violations can carry consequences beyond the stated criminal penalties.
