Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 126 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 126-12
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation committing an offense against any provision of this Article shall be punishable as provided in the general penalty provisions contained in Chapter 1 , General Provisions, Article II , of this Code.
Section 126-12 of Thomaston, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 126 establishes that violations of the rent-related article are subject to punishment, but it does not set its own specific penalty amounts or ranges. Instead, it directs that any offending person, firm, or corporation be penalized according to the general penalty provisions found elsewhere in the municipal code—specifically Chapter 1, Article II. The practical effect is that the same baseline penalty framework that applies across Thomaston's ordinances also governs violations of this housing article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Chapter 126 should be aware that Section 126-12 ties any violation of the article's requirements to Thomaston's general municipal penalty structure, found in Chapter 1, Article II of the Code of Ordinances. Compliant operators typically maintain thorough records of rent practices, notices, and communications to demonstrate adherence to each provision of the article. Because the penalty framework is set by a separate chapter, operators generally familiarize themselves with Chapter 1, Article II to understand the full scope of potential consequences for non-compliance.
