New City, NY – Town of Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann announced that the town secured over $261,000 in code enforcement fines in 2025, marking the largest annual total ever collected for code enforcement actions.

The Town Attorney’s office prosecutes code violations in justice court, seeking fines that can reach tens of thousands of dollars. In cases involving extreme safety risks or serious violations, additional action is taken in the State Supreme Court.

Supervisor Hoehmann stated,

“Clarkstown continues to enforce our code and safety standards across the town. If you violate our laws, we will hold you accountable. This year alone, we have secured over $261,000 in fines for code enforcement actions. I want to thank our code enforcement officers and our Town Attorney team for their diligent work to protect our neighborhoods. Do not violate the code in Clarkstown – we will hold you accountable.”

Town Attorney Kevin Conway added,

“Supervisor Hoehmann and the Town Board have prioritized code enforcement prosecutions. Our code enforcement team has handled multiple cases, including illegal occupancy, residential overcrowding, failure to comply with rental registry requirements, and zoning violations, with record fines levied. The Town, through its various departments, will continue to vigorously pursue these cases with an enhanced enforcement staff to make Clarkstown a safer place to live.”

Looking ahead to 2026, the town plans to expand its code enforcement staff and Town Attorney capabilities to ensure violators are held accountable and Clarkstown neighborhoods remain safe for all residents.
