Except where specific maximum penalties are
provided elsewhere in the Code, in a state law or in another resolution
or local law of the village for a particular offense, unlawful act
or prohibited act, any person who shall commit an offense, unlawful
act or prohibited act under any provision of the Code or any provision
of any other village resolution or local law referring to these general
penalty provisions, by doing any act prohibited or declared to be
unlawful thereby or declared to be an offense, unlawful act or prohibited
act thereby, or who shall engage in or exercise any business or occupation
or do anything for which a license or permit is required thereby without
having a valid license or permit therefor as required, or who shall
fail to do any act when such provision declares such failure to be
an offense, unlawful act or prohibited act shall, upon conviction
thereof, be deemed guilty of a violation as defined by the Penal Law
of the State of New York, punishable by a fine not exceeding $250
or by imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or by both such fine
and imprisonment.
The continuation of an offense, unlawful act
or prohibited act for each successive day shall constitute a separate
violation, and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation
of the offense, unlawful act or prohibited act may be punished as
provided in this article for each such separate violation.
The imposition of a penalty as provided above
or as specifically provided in any chapter of the Code or other resolution
or local law of the village shall be in addition to any injunctive
or remedial relief or any civil penalty 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.
