Princeville — Title 15 Ch. 15.24 Property Maintenance and Occupancy Code § 15.24.130
Exclusivity of Remedies
Operative Text
The imposition of any penalty or enforcement action taken pursuant to this Chapter shall not preclude the Village from instituting an appropriate action or proceeding in a court of proper jurisdiction to prevent an unlawful repair or maintenance; to restrain, correct or abate a violation; to prevent the occupancy of a building; or to require compliance with any other provisions of this Chapter or other applicable chapters of the Village Code, applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or the orders and determinations of the code enforcement officer. To that end, the remedies provided by this Chapter and similar ordinances or statutes shall be cumulative.
Section 15.24.130 of Princeville's Property Maintenance and Occupancy Code establishes that penalties or enforcement actions taken under Chapter 15.24 do not exhaust the Village's options for addressing violations. The Village retains the ability to pursue court action simultaneously or subsequently to stop unlawful repairs, correct violations, prevent unsafe occupancy, or compel compliance with applicable codes and orders. In other words, the remedies available under this chapter stack on top of one another rather than replacing each other.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 15.24.130, a property owner or manager who has already received a penalty or been subject to an enforcement action under Chapter 15.24 should understand that the matter may not end there. The Village of Princeville can still pursue separate court proceedings to compel repairs, halt occupancy, or enforce code-officer orders even after a fine has been issued. Compliant operators generally address cited violations promptly and completely, recognizing that multiple enforcement tracks can run concurrently.

Section 15.24.130 means that if a landlord's property has code violations, the Village of Princeville is not limited to a single enforcement tool — it can impose penalties and also seek court-ordered remedies at the same time. Tenants who are aware of unaddressed maintenance or occupancy violations may report concerns to the Village's code enforcement office, which retains broad authority to act. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand how this cumulative-remedies framework may relate to their housing situation.
