Madison Lake Ch. 100 Rental Dwellings § 150.30 establishes a formal process by which the city may issue written compliance orders when a dwelling or dwelling unit is found to violate the rental dwelling standards set out in the subchapter. A compliance order must describe the specific violations, set a reasonable correction deadline, and be delivered to the responsible party—whether by personal service, mail, or conspicuous posting on the property. Failing to comply with such an order is treated as a misdemeanor offense under Madison Lake law, with penalties referenced in § 10.99.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Madison Lake Ch. 100 Rental Dwellings § 150.30, property owners and their agents or operators who receive a written compliance order are generally expected to review the described violations carefully, note the correction deadline stated in the order, and complete all required remediation within that timeframe. Compliant operators typically keep records of corrective actions taken and maintain current contact information with the city so that official notices reach them promptly. Because non-compliance with a compliance order constitutes a misdemeanor, property managers commonly treat these orders as high-priority obligations requiring timely, documented responses.
