Mamaroneck Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 161 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 161-11
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. Any person violating any provisions of this article shall be guilty of an offense punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. Any person violating any provisions of this article shall be subject to a penalty in the sum of not more than $50 for the first violation and in a sum of not more than $100 for subsequent violations, said penalties to be recovered in a civil action in the name of the Town of Mamaroneck. B. Each and every day of violation is to be considered a separate violation under this article II and, therefore, subjects the offender to a separate penalty for each and every day.
Section 161-11 of Mamaroneck Town's Code of Ordinances establishes penalties for violations of the article's rental housing provisions. A first-time violation may result in a civil penalty of up to $50, while each subsequent violation may carry a penalty of up to $100. Importantly, every day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent violation, meaning penalties can accumulate on a daily basis. Violations may also be punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both under the criminal offense framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Mamaroneck Town Code ch. 161 should be aware that each day of non-compliance with the article's requirements is counted as a distinct violation under § 161-11. A compliant operator promptly addresses any identified deficiency to avoid the compounding effect of daily penalties, which can escalate from $50 for a first offense to $100 for each subsequent one. Civil penalties under this section are recoverable by the Town of Mamaroneck through a civil action, making ongoing violations a potentially significant financial exposure.

Under § 161-11 of Mamaroneck Town Code ch. 161, tenants should know that landlords who fail to comply with the article's requirements can face civil penalties enforced by the Town of Mamaroneck itself, meaning enforcement is not solely the tenant's burden. Because each day of a continuing violation is treated as a separate offense, unresolved issues can generate accumulating penalties against a non-compliant landlord. Tenants who believe a violation is occurring may consider contacting the Town of Mamaroneck directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what reporting options are available.
