Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 68 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 68-10
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Where a person or organization has been found, after a trial on the merits, in violation of this chapter, a fine shall be imposed on such person or organization not to exceed $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for each additional offense. The minimum fine for violations of this chapter shall be $100 for a first offense and $500 for each additional offense. Each and every separate violation of this chapter shall be deemed an offense for the purpose of imposing the appropriate fine.
Section 68-10 of Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 68 establishes a tiered fine structure for violations of the chapter. A first offense carries a fine between $100 and $500, while each additional offense carries a fine between $500 and $1,000. Importantly, each separate violation is counted as its own distinct offense, meaning multiple violations can each trigger their own fine within these ranges—but only after a trial on the merits has resulted in a finding of violation.

Operators subject to Lenox, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 68 should be aware that § 68-10 imposes escalating financial penalties for non-compliance. A compliant operator generally maintains thorough records and addresses any potential violations promptly, since each separate violation is treated as an independent offense that can carry its own fine. Understanding that repeat offenses can result in fines up to $1,000 per violation underscores the importance of ongoing adherence to all requirements of the chapter.
