Aroma Park Ch. 7 Art. III § 7-87 establishes that any violation of the Rental Dwelling Licenses article is treated as a misdemeanor offense. A first offense carries a fine between $100 and $500, while each subsequent offense carries a fine between $200 and $500. Importantly, each day a violation persists counts as its own separate offense, and no new rental dwelling license may be issued to an applicant who has outstanding fines or court costs under this article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Aroma Park Ch. 7 Art. III § 7-87 generally maintain continuous compliance with all rental dwelling license requirements, since each day a violation continues is treated as a new, separately punishable offense. A compliant operator ensures that any identified deficiency is corrected promptly to avoid accumulating multiple misdemeanor charges. Operators also keep any assessed fines and court costs paid in full, as outstanding balances under this article will block the issuance of a rental dwelling license.
