Fines
Operative Text
Any person found to have violated any provision of this article shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each violation. Every day a violation continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
Hazel Crest Ch. 14 Housing § 14-57 establishes a civil fine structure for violations of the housing article. Any person found in violation faces a fine of at least $100 and no more than $500 per violation. Critically, each day that a violation continues is treated as a distinct, separate violation, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis until the underlying issue is resolved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hazel Crest Ch. 14 Housing § 14-57, property owners and managers who are found in violation of the housing article are subject to fines ranging from $100 to $500 for each violation. Because every day a violation persists counts as a new violation, operators who promptly address and correct any cited deficiencies generally limit their total financial exposure. Maintaining properties in ongoing compliance with the housing article is the most straightforward way to avoid the compounding daily fine structure this provision creates.
