Rockville Centre, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 225-4
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person or persons convicted of violating any provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to fine and/or imprisonment as may be provided by law for violations of the Village Code.
Section 225-4 of Rockville Centre's Code of Ordinances establishes that anyone found guilty of violating the rental regulations in Chapter 225 faces criminal-style consequences, including a fine, imprisonment, or both. The specific amounts and terms are set by the broader Village Code rather than spelled out in this section itself. This provision functions as the enforcement backstop for the rest of the chapter's requirements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 225-4, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any part of Chapter 225 of the Rockville Centre Code expose themselves to potential fines and even imprisonment upon conviction. Operators who stay current with all Chapter 225 obligations—such as registration, notice, and habitability requirements—generally avoid the circumstances that trigger this penalty provision. Keeping thorough records of compliance activity is a common practice among operators who want to demonstrate good-faith adherence to the Village Code.

Section 225-4 signals that violations of Rockville Centre's Chapter 225 rental regulations are treated seriously enough to carry criminal penalties, which can be relevant context when a landlord is not meeting their obligations. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating Chapter 225 may consider documenting the issue and contacting the Village of Rockville Centre directly to inquire about the complaint or enforcement process. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Nassau County housing law can also help explain what options are generally available under this provision.
