Except where specific maximum penalties are provided elsewhere
in the Code, in a state law or in another ordinance or local law of
the village for a particular offense, unlawful act or prohibited act,
any person who shall commit an offense against any provision of the
Code, or any provision of any other ordinance or local law referring
to these general penalty provisions, or against any regulation duly
authorized and adopted pursuant to an ordinance or local law of the
Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, by doing an 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 for each successive day shall,
unless provided otherwise, constitute a separate violation, and the
person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation of the offense
may be punished as provided above 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 ordinance 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 or the ordinances and local laws of the Village
of Cornwall-on-Hudson, with the same force and effect as though provided
for herein. Any penalty or relief shall not be deemed to be in lieu
of any provision for revocation or suspension of any license or permit.
