C.Â
Except as specified in Subsection A or B above, unless a specific penalty is provided elsewhere in this Code or in any other local law for a particular violation, any person committing an offense against any provision of any chapter of this Code or of any other local law which refers to this article shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable by a fine not exceeding $500 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both fine and imprisonment.
[Amended 4-20-2010 by L.L. No. 2-2010]
Whenever an owner of property or a person in
possession or control thereof is required under this Code to make
an improvement, perform any work or do any act on such property in
the interest of public safety, health, comfort or the general welfare
and such person shall fail to make the improvement or perform the
work or act required and the Board of Trustees shall cause such improvement,
work or act to be done on such property or a contract has been awarded
therefor by the Board, the cost of such improvements, work or act
may be assessed, levied and collected as against such property or
owner in the same manner as a tax. Before making such assessment,
levy and collection, the Village shall serve written notice upon the
owner of property of the improvement, work or act to be done, and
a reasonable time for performance shall be given therefor. Upon the
failure to comply within the time given, a hearing shall be scheduled
before the Board of Trustees, upon notice, giving the owner of such
property or a person representing such owner reasonable opportunity
to be heard prior to the Board making or providing for such improvement,
work or act to be done and the cost thereof assessed, levied and collected.
The Village Board may, after a hearing, for
which reasonable notice shall be given to any alleged offender against
the provisions of this Code, assess a civil penalty not exceeding
$2,500 for any offense against the provisions of this Code. The alleged
offender shall be served with a brief outline of the alleged offense
charged and may be represented by counsel at any hearing held by the
Board thereon. The Village may pursue any other remedy permitted by
law, which remedy shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive. The
civil penalty assessed by the Board shall be deemed prima facie evidence
of the amount thereof in any action or proceeding seeking its recovery
or to enforce the rights of the Village.
Whenever in this Code an activity is proscribed
or prohibited to be performed, permitted, made, aided, countenanced,
encouraged, assisted or the like on any property within the Incorporated
Village of Plandome Manor, or where the creation, establishment, erection,
placement or maintenance of any object, thing, attachment, disturbance,
noise or nuisance shall constitute a violation of a provision of this
Code, the owner, tenant, operator or person in control of any property
on which such activity, object, thing, attachment, disturbance, noise,
nuisance or the like shall occur shall be deemed to have full knowledge
thereof and to have consented to, performed, permitted, made, aided,
countenanced, encouraged, assisted or established, erected, placed
or maintained the same. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
as to impose exclusive liability upon any such owner, tenant, operator
or person in control.
[Amended 4-20-2010 by L.L. No. 2-2010]
Except where otherwise provided, the continuation
of an offense for each successive week shall constitute a separate
violation, and the person or persons allowing or permitting the same
may be punished as provided in this article by either criminal or
civil penalties, or both, for each such separate violation.
The imposition of a penalty as provided herein,
or as specifically provided in any other chapter of this Code or other
law of the Village, shall be in addition to any injunctive or remedial
relief which is authorized under the laws of the State of New York
with the same force and effect as though provided for herein. Such
penalty shall not be deemed to be in lieu of any provision for revocation
or suspension of any license or permit.

A copy of the Code, in loose-leaf form, has been filed in the

examine the same during all times while said Code is in effect. The
enactment and publication of this local law, coupled with the availability
of a copy of the Code for inspection by the public, shall be deemed,
held and considered to be due and legal publication of all provisions
of the Code for all purposes.
Any and all additions, deletions, amendments or supplements
to any of the local laws and resolutions known collectively as the
"Code of the Village of Plandome Manor" or any new local laws or resolutions,

the enactment of this local law in such form as to indicate the intention
of said Board to be a part of said Code shall, when finally enacted
or adopted, be included therein by temporary attachment of copies
of such changes, local laws or resolutions until such changes, local
laws or resolutions are printed as supplements to said Code book,
at which time such supplements shall be inserted therein.
Copies of the Code, or any chapter or portion of it, may be

of an offense and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a
fine of not more than $250 or imprisonment for a term of not more
