Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person violating any section or provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not exceeding $500 for the first offense, $1,000 for the second offense and $2,000 for the third and subsequent offenses.
Chapter 287, Section 287-12 of Sloatsburg's Code of Ordinances establishes a tiered fine structure for violations of the village's rental regulations. A first offense carries a fine of up to $500, a second offense up to $1,000, and a third or any subsequent offense up to $2,000. Fines are imposed upon conviction, meaning a formal legal finding of guilt is required before any penalty is assessed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 287-12 makes clear that repeated non-compliance with Chapter 287 results in escalating financial penalties, reaching up to $2,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Operators who maintain properties in full conformance with each provision of the chapter avoid exposure to these fines. Keeping thorough records of compliance efforts across all units and promptly correcting any identified deficiencies are practices generally associated with responsible property management under this framework.

Section 287-12 establishes that landlords who violate Chapter 287 face fines that increase with each offense, which can serve as a meaningful deterrent against repeated non-compliance. If a landlord appears to be violating a provision of Chapter 287, tenants may consider reporting the issue to the appropriate Sloatsburg village authority, which can initiate enforcement proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York State and local housing law can help residents understand what options may be available to them under this provision.
