Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 245 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 245-89
Injunctive relief
Operative Text
In addition to, or in lieu of, the civil and criminal penalties provided herein, any person may be prevented from violating the provisions of this Part 3 by the Department's seeking injunctive relief in the manner provided by law.
Section 245-89 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances establishes that injunctive relief is available as a legal remedy under Part 3 of Chapter 245, either alongside or instead of civil or criminal penalties. This means a court can be asked to order someone to stop — or refrain from — conduct that violates the relevant housing provisions. The remedy is not limited to monetary consequences; it extends to court-ordered prohibitions on ongoing or threatened violations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-89, the Department has the authority to pursue court-ordered injunctive relief against property owners or managers who are found to be violating Part 3 of Chapter 245, independent of whether civil or criminal penalties are also sought. Operators who maintain properties in compliance with the applicable provisions of Part 3 reduce their exposure to this type of legal action. Keeping accurate records of compliance efforts and responding promptly to any notices from the Department are practices generally associated with compliant property management.

Section 245-89 gives the Department the ability to seek a court injunction to halt violations of Part 3 of Chapter 245, which can be a meaningful remedy when a landlord's conduct is ongoing and monetary penalties alone may not stop it. Tenants who believe a landlord is engaged in a continuing violation of Part 3 may wish to report the situation to the relevant municipal department so that injunctive relief can be considered as an option. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Sleepy Hollow's ordinances can help explain how this remedy fits alongside other enforcement paths available under Chapter 245.
