Under Liberty Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 43 § 43-5, operators who remain out of compliance face penalties that compound quickly, since the $250 charge applies separately to each day and each unit in violation. Compliant property managers generally act promptly to correct any identified violation rather than allowing it to persist. Corporate owners should be aware that the provision reaches individual officers personally, meaning executives cannot rely solely on the corporate entity as a shield from liability.
