Peekskill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 332 § 332-28
Other remedies
Operative Text
The Corporation Counsel shall, upon complaint of the chief officer of the bureau, or upon his own motion, institute appropriate action to restrain, prevent, enjoin, abate, correct or remove violations of this chapter and to take such other legal action as is necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this chapter. The remedies provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law; any and all remedies may be pursued concurrently or consecutively and the pursuit of any remedy shall not be construed as an election or the waiver of the right to pursue any and all of the others.
Section 332-28 of Peekskill's housing code authorizes the Corporation Counsel to take legal action—including seeking injunctions, abatements, or corrections—to address violations of Chapter 332. The remedies available under this provision are cumulative, meaning they can be used alongside any other legal remedies that exist under law. Pursuing one remedy does not prevent the simultaneous or sequential pursuit of others.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 332-28, property owners and managers should be aware that the Corporation Counsel can act on its own initiative or upon complaint from the bureau's chief officer to seek court-ordered relief against code violations. Compliant operators generally address any identified violations promptly and thoroughly, since multiple legal remedies can be pursued at the same time or in sequence without one foreclosing another. Resolving violations early reduces exposure to the full range of cumulative enforcement actions available under this chapter.

Section 332-28 gives tenants and housing officials a broad enforcement framework: the Corporation Counsel can seek injunctions, abatements, or other court remedies to correct Chapter 332 violations, and these remedies stack on top of any other legal rights available. Tenants who believe a violation exists may file a complaint with the appropriate bureau, which can trigger the Corporation Counsel to act. Tenant-rights organizations in Westchester County can help residents understand which complaint pathways under § 332-28 may be relevant to their circumstances.
