Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 185 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 185-11
Offenders subject to penalties and remedies
Operative Text
Immediately upon the Village's determination that any property is not being maintained in accordance with the standards established in this chapter, the owner or occupant responsible for such property, as provided above, shall be deemed to have committed an offense. Such owner or occupant shall be subject to the penalties and remedies provided for in § 185-12 , notwithstanding any remedial action that may be taken by such owner or occupant subsequent to the village's determination to rectify the unsatisfactory condition.
Under Lynbrook, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 185 § 185-11, the moment the Village officially determines that a property is not being maintained to the chapter's standards, the responsible owner or occupant is considered to have committed an offense. Importantly, the rule makes clear that taking corrective action after the Village's determination does not erase or undo the offense — the violation is locked in at the time of the finding. The penalties and remedies available are those set out in § 185-12 of the same chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Lynbrook should understand that under § 185-11, a Village determination of substandard maintenance triggers an offense at that moment, regardless of how quickly repairs are made afterward. Compliant operators generally keep properties in continuous conformance with chapter 185 standards so that no such determination is ever made, rather than relying on the ability to cure a deficiency after the fact. Documenting routine maintenance and inspections can help demonstrate ongoing compliance before any Village review occurs.

Section 185-11 of Lynbrook's Code of Ordinances establishes that once the Village finds a property is not properly maintained, the responsible owner or occupant has committed an offense — and that status is not erased by later repairs. Tenants who believe their property is not being maintained to the chapter's standards may consider reporting the condition to the Village so an official determination can be made. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Lynbrook or Nassau County housing rules can help explain what remedies under § 185-12 may be relevant to a given situation.
