2006 New York Code - Violations

 
    §  327.  Violations.  1.  Any  person  who  shall  violate  any of the
  provisions of this article shall be subject to a civil  penalty  not  to
  exceed one thousand dollars.
    2.   Upon  any  violation  of  the  provisions  of  this  article,  an
  application may be made by the attorney  general  in  the  name  of  the
  people  of  the  state  of  New  York  to  a  court  or  justice  having
  jurisdiction to issue an injunction and upon notice to the defendant  of
  not  less  than five days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of the
  violation. If it shall appear  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court  or
  justice  that the defendant has violated this section, an injunction may
  be issued by the court or justice, enjoining and restraining any further
  violation, without requiring proof that any person has,  in  fact,  been
  injured  or  damaged thereby. In any such proceeding, the court may make
  allowances to the attorney general  as  provided  in  paragraph  six  of
  subdivision  (a)  of  section  eight thousand three hundred three of the
  civil practice law and rules, and direct restitution.
    In connection  with  an  application  made  under  this  section,  the
  attorney general is authorized to take proof and to make a determination
  of  the  relevant  facts  and  to issue subpoenas in accordance with the
  civil practice law and rules.
