Mamaroneck Town, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 161 § 161-5 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations of the article's rental regulations. A general violation carries a $250 fine, while violations of §§ 161-3 and 161-4 specifically can also trigger a civil penalty of up to $25 per offense, which stacks on top of the base fine. Critically, each day a violation continues is treated as a separate, independent offense, meaning penalties can accumulate over time.
