A. Any person, partnership, association or corporation who violates any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of an offense against this chapter and subject to a fine in such amount as may be established by resolution of the Town Board from time-to-time. When a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is continuous, each day or portion thereof shall constitute a separate and distinct violation. B.

Liberty, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 100 § 100-10 establishes that any individual, partnership, association, or corporation that violates the housing chapter is committing an offense subject to a fine set by the Town Board. Importantly, ongoing violations are treated as separate offenses for each day or partial day they continue, meaning fines can accumulate over time. Beyond monetary penalties, the town also has the authority to seek court-ordered compliance or an injunction to stop a violation.
