New Berlin, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 80 § 80-10 establishes the consequences for violating the housing chapter after a full trial on the merits. A court may impose a fine of up to $1,000, a jail term of up to one year, or both. Importantly, each distinct violation is treated as a separate offense, meaning multiple infractions can result in multiple penalties stacking against the offending party.

Under ch. 80 § 80-10, property owners and managers who are found guilty of violating New Berlin's housing chapter following a trial face fines up to $1,000 and/or up to one year of imprisonment per offense. Because each separate violation is counted independently, operators with multiple infractions on a single property can face compounding penalties. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in accordance with all requirements of ch. 80 to avoid exposure to these cumulative consequences.
