Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 287-13
Nonpayment of penalties
Operative Text
Should the aforesaid penalties not be paid within 30 days of being assessed, and after notice of said failure is served upon the owner or upon the authorized individual, then the property covered by this chapter will be assessed for the unpaid penalties, and the penalties so assessed shall be collected in the same manner and time as Village taxes.
Under Sloatsburg, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 287 § 287-13, if a penalty issued under Chapter 287 remains unpaid for more than 30 days after it is assessed, and the owner or authorized individual has been formally notified of that nonpayment, the Village may place the outstanding amount as a charge against the property itself. That charge is then collected through the same process used to collect Village taxes, meaning it attaches to the property rather than remaining solely a personal obligation.

Operators subject to Chapter 287 should be aware that under § 287-13, any assessed penalty that goes unpaid beyond the 30-day window—after proper notice—can become a lien-like charge against the covered property, collected alongside Village taxes. Compliant property managers generally track penalty assessment dates, confirm receipt of any notices, and resolve outstanding amounts promptly to prevent a tax-roll assessment. Keeping clear records of payment and correspondence with the Village helps demonstrate timely compliance.

Section 287-13 establishes a Village-level enforcement mechanism that ensures penalties assessed under Chapter 287 are not simply ignored by property owners; unpaid amounts can ultimately be collected as a charge against the property through the Village tax process. Tenants who believe a landlord has been assessed penalties relevant to their housing conditions may find it useful to inquire with Village officials about the status of any such assessments. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Sloatsburg or New York State housing law can help explain how this collection mechanism may relate to broader habitability or compliance concerns.
