PENALTY
Operative Text
A. Any owner, property agent, occupant or person who fails to comply with any section of this chapter applicable to him, and continues in this failure after due notice and opportunity to correct, given pursuant to this chapter, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) nor more than one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500.00) for each day each section of this chapter is violated after expiration of the time for correction of the violations. B. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the Village from taking any other legal or equitable remedies available to the Village, including any emergency action permitted by law when any portion of the rental residential building is a danger to persons or property. (Ord. 18-994, 6-12-2018)
Under Inverness CHAPTER 15 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING CODE § 3-15-17, any owner, property agent, occupant, or other person who fails to comply with the applicable sections of Chapter 15 and does not correct the violation after receiving proper notice and an opportunity to fix it can face a daily fine ranging from $250 to $1,500 for each section violated, with fines accruing each day past the correction deadline. The provision also preserves the Village of Inverness's right to pursue any other legal or equitable remedies, including emergency action when a rental building poses a danger to people or property. Conviction is required before the fine is imposed, meaning the penalty process involves a formal legal proceeding.

Operators subject to Inverness CHAPTER 15 RESIDENTIAL RENTAL HOUSING CODE § 3-15-17 generally stay compliant by responding promptly to any notice of violation and completing all required corrections within the timeframe specified in that notice. Because fines under § 3-15-17 can accumulate at up to $1,500 per day per violated section after the correction deadline passes, property managers typically document their remediation efforts carefully to demonstrate timely compliance. Compliant operators also remain aware that the Village retains the authority to pursue additional legal or equitable remedies, including emergency intervention, independent of the fine process.
