PART II GENERAL LEGISLATION Chapter 141, OUTDOOR MULTI-FUEL FURNACES
§ 141-1. Authority.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority of Article II, § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law and Article IV, § 4-412, of the New York State Village Law.
It is the intention of the Village Board of the Village of New York Mills by the adoption of this chapter to establish and impose restrictions upon the construction and operation of outdoor multi-fuel furnaces within the limits of the Village for the purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare and prosperity of the Village and its inhabitants. It is generally recognized that the types of fuel used, and the scale and duration of the burning by such furnaces create noxious and hazardous smoke, soot, fumes, odors and air pollution, can be detrimental to citizens' health, and can deprive neighboring residents of the enjoyment of their property or premises.
OUTDOOR MULTI-FUEL FURNACE -- An accessory structure, designed and intended, through the burning of wood, wood pellets, oil, gas, coal, or any type of heating fuel, for the purpose of heating the principal structure, or any other site structure on the premises.

Each week's continued violation shall constitute separate and distinct offenses.
§ 141-6. Civil proceedings and penalties.
Compliance with this chapter may also be compelled and violations restrained by order or by injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall also be subject to a civil penalty of not more than $500, to be recovered by the Village in a civil action, and each week's continued violation shall be for this purpose a separate and distinct violation. In the event the Village is required to take legal action to enforce this chapter, the violator will be responsible for any and all necessary costs relative thereto, including attorney's fees, and such expenses shall be charged to the property so affected by including such expense to the next annual tax levy against the property.
