Conformance with all federal and state laws and regulations
Operative Text
A. All persons shall maintain their premises in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and directives of all federal, state, and other municipal governments and governmental departments and agencies with jurisdiction. B. In the event that the Village is fined or incurs any other costs or other expenses (“damages”) because of the failure of a person to comply with this section, such damages shall be charged to such person by the Village, and such charge shall become due and payable by said person within 20 days of demand by the Village. C. In the event that the full amount of such charge is not paid to the Village within 20 days after such demand, then, and in that case, the Village Clerk shall cause to be filed in the office of the Village Clerk a sworn statement showing the amount of the damages, the location of the property, by section, block, and lot, that was the subject of the damages, and the name of the reputed owner thereof as shown on the Village tax rolls. The filing of such sworn statement shall constitute a lien and privilege on the property and shall remain in full force and effect for the amount due in principal and interest, plus the court costs, expenses, and legal fees in the event the Village commences a legal proceeding to collect the amount to which it is due pursuant to this section. Said damages and court costs, expenses, and legal fees shall be collected in the manner fixed by law for the collection of taxes and, further, shall be subject to a delinquent penalty at the legal rate of interest in the event that the same is not paid in full on or before the date the tax bill upon which such charge appears becomes delinquent. Sworn statements filed in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be prima facie evidence that all legal formalities have been complied with and the damages and court costs, expenses, and legal fees, plus interest, constitutes a charge against the property designated and described in the statement and that the same is due and collectible as provided by law.
Section 117-5.2 of the Kings Point Code of Ordinances requires that all property owners and occupants keep their premises in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. If the Village of Kings Point incurs fines or other costs because someone fails to meet this standard, those costs are passed directly to the responsible person and must be paid within 20 days of demand. Unpaid charges can become a lien on the property, collectible in the same manner as property taxes, and may accrue interest and legal fees if left unresolved.

Under Kings Point Code § 117-5.2, compliant property operators generally stay current with all applicable federal, state, and local housing and property maintenance requirements. If the Village is fined or incurs costs attributable to a property's noncompliance, those damages are billed back to the responsible party with a 20-day payment window. Operators who do not satisfy such charges risk having a lien placed on the property, which can grow to include court costs, legal fees, and delinquency interest collected alongside property taxes.
