Plain English

Albert Lea Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.042 establishes that any violation of Article II of Chapter 26—whether by doing something the article prohibits or by failing to do something the article requires—is treated as a misdemeanor offense. Conviction carries the criminal penalties set out in section 1.013 of the Albert Lea Code. This provision applies to any person who runs afoul of the article's requirements, making non-compliance a matter of criminal law rather than merely a civil infraction.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under Albert Lea Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.042 should be aware that failures to comply with Article II's requirements—whether through prohibited actions or omissions—can result in misdemeanor charges. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough records of their practices, promptly address any deficiencies identified by inspectors, and stay current with all obligations spelled out in Article II. Because the penalty track here is criminal rather than civil, operators typically treat compliance as a high-priority operational matter.
