Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-133
(a) If the commission determines that the respondent has not, after 30 calendar days following service of its order, corrected the unlawful practice and complied with this article, the commission may certify the matter to the city attorney for enforcement proceedings.
(b) The city attorney may institute, in the name of the city, civil proceedings, including the seeking of such restraining orders and temporary or permanent injunctions, as are necessary to obtain complete compliance with the commission's orders.

Plain English

Under Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-133, when a respondent fails to correct an unlawful housing practice within 30 calendar days after being served with a commission order, the commission is authorized to refer the matter to the city attorney. The city attorney may then bring civil legal action on behalf of the city, which can include seeking restraining orders or temporary or permanent injunctions to compel full compliance. This provision establishes a two-step escalation path from administrative order to civil court enforcement.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to a commission order under Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-133 should be aware that the 30-day window following service of an order is a critical compliance period. Operators who have received an order generally document and complete all required corrective actions within that timeframe to avoid referral to the city attorney. Once a matter is certified for civil proceedings, the city may seek court-ordered remedies, including injunctions, that go beyond the original administrative order.

For Tenants

Macomb Ch. 13 Housing § 13-133 provides tenants with an understanding of how the commission's orders are backed by legal force: if a respondent does not comply within 30 days of a commission order, the commission can escalate the matter to the city attorney for civil enforcement. Tenants who have participated in a commission proceeding may want to monitor whether compliance has occurred after an order is issued. General enforcement paths available to tenants include following up with the commission, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a housing attorney about the status of any outstanding order.
