“The Town has reached a civil compromise with the operators of the illegal daycare on Maple Avenue in New City. As part of the agreement, the Town imposed $40,000 in fines, amongst the largest penalties ever collected for a code enforcement violation in Clarkstown’s history. Given the egregious nature of the town code violations, the significant fines are fully justified. The defendants are also permanently barred from operating within the Town of Clarkstown. This reckless disregard for safety will not be tolerated in the Town of Clarkstown. The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office is handling the pending criminal charges of endangering the welfare of a child. I’m incredibly thankful for the quick work of all the town, county, and state departments and agencies in ensuring this dangerous facility was shut down as quickly as possible and the operators were brought to justice. “
The Town of Clarkstown will continue to work to protect town residents from illegal and unlawful behavior. If you know of code violations please report to the town via our “MyClarkstown” app or by calling the Supervisor’s Office at 845-639-2050.
