Larchmont, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 151 § 151-4 establishes penalties for violations of the village's prohibited housing acts. Anyone found to have committed a prohibited act may face a fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both for each offense. A convicted landlord must also offer the next comparable available unit to the complaining party, and making a knowingly false charge or withholding material evidence from the Village Attorney carries the same potential penalties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 151-4, property owners and managers found guilty of any prohibited act face fines up to $250 and/or up to 15 days of imprisonment per offense. A compliant operator who is convicted is also expected to offer the next comparable available rental unit to the tenant whose complaint led to the conviction — failure to do so triggers an additional round of the same penalties. Operators generally maintain accurate records and cooperate fully with Village proceedings to avoid compounding liability under this section.

Section 151-4 of Larchmont's Code of Ordinances provides that landlords convicted of prohibited acts must offer the affected tenant the next comparable available rental unit, in addition to facing fines and possible imprisonment. Tenants who believe a prohibited act has occurred may file a complaint with the Village, which can trigger the enforcement process described in this section. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand what remedies may be available and how the complaint process generally works under ch. 151.
