Except where the specific penalties are provided in a law of
the county, state or federal government or in a local law, ordinance,
rule or regulation of the Village for a particular offense, any person
who shall commit an offense against any provision of the Code of the
Village of Garden City or any provision of any Village local law,
ordinance, rule or regulation, by doing any act prohibited or declared
to be an offense thereby, or by engaging in or exercising any business
or occupation or doing anything for which a license or permit is required
thereby without having a valid license or permit therefor as required,
or by failing to do any act required by any such provision, or by
failing to do any act when such provision declares such failure to
be unlawful or to be an offense, shall, upon conviction thereof, be
guilty of a violation pursuant to the Penal Law of the State of New
York, punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,500 or by imprisonment
for not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
Where provided in any local law, ordinance,
rule or regulation of the Village, the continuation of an offense
for each successive day shall 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 separate violation.
The imposition of a penalty as provided above,
or as specifically provided in any chapter of the Code or other local
law, ordinance, rule or regulation 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 Garden City, 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.
