Wawayanda, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 114 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 114-11
Penalties for offenses
Operative Text
A. For each and every separate violation of any provision of this chapter, the person violating the same shall be subject to a fine of not more than $250 or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both, for each and every separate offense. B. Each and every week that any such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. C. Conviction for any violation of this chapter shall constitute and effect an immediate forfeiture of the permit.
Section 114-11 of Wawayanda's rental regulations establishes penalties for violations of Chapter 114. A person found in violation may face a fine of up to $250, up to 15 days of imprisonment, or both, for each separate offense. Importantly, every week a violation continues counts as a new, independent offense, and a conviction automatically results in the loss of any permit issued under the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Chapter 114 in Wawayanda should be aware that Section 114-11 treats each week of a continuing violation as a distinct offense, meaning fines can accumulate rapidly. A compliant operator generally resolves any identified deficiency promptly to avoid the compounding of weekly penalties. Permit holders should also note that a conviction under this chapter triggers an automatic permit forfeiture, which would affect the ability to continue operating lawfully.

Section 114-11 gives tenants context for understanding the consequences landlords face when they fail to comply with Wawayanda's Chapter 114 requirements. Because each week of non-compliance constitutes a separate offense under this provision, ongoing violations can result in escalating fines and potential permit loss for the property operator. Tenants who believe a landlord is in violation of Chapter 114 may consider contacting the appropriate local municipal authority or a tenant-rights organization to understand available complaint and enforcement paths.
