Editor's Note: This local law provided that it shall take
effect on January 2, 2010, subject to acceptance and filing by the
Secretary of State.
Whenever in the Code any act is prohibited, or the doing of
any act is required, or the failure to do any act is declared to be
unlawful, and where no specific penalty is provided, any person committing
such offense shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a violation pursuant
to the Penal Law of the State of New York, punishable in the case
of natural persons by a fine not exceeding $250 or by imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment,
and in the case of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
association or similar entity other than a natural person, by a fine
not exceeding $500. The continuance of an offense for each day (24
hours) thereafter shall be deemed a separate and distinct violation.
Obedience to the provisions hereinafter set forth may be enforced by prosecution of the offender as provided in § 1-9, by civil action for a penalty, by civil remedy at law or in equity by way of injunction or otherwise to abate or prevent a violation of the provisions of this Code. Neither a judgment in nor the pendency of a criminal prosecution for an alleged violation of the provisions of this Code, nor a judgment in nor the pendency of a civil action at law or in equity, shall be a bar to the other form of proceeding. The imposition of a penalty for a violation of this Code shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and the remedies herein provided for penalties, and civil action to enjoin or abate a violation, shall be cumulative.
