Sleepy Hollow is moving to crack down on illegal housing in the village by enacting new laws and changing others that will make it easier to expose overcrowded dwellings and increase fines against landlords that own buildings where violations occur. A public hearing on the legislation is scheduled for March 9.

Fines for the owner or person in charge of a building found initially in violation of the rules aimed at over- occupancy would be hit with a fine of at least $1,000. It could be as much as $3,500. Subsequent violations could incur fines up to $7,500.  more »
