Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to New Richland Ch. 113 Housing § 113.99 should be aware that non-compliance can result in criminal charges, not merely civil fines. Compliant operators generally maintain housing conditions that satisfy all requirements of §§ 113.01–113.12 and §§ 113.25–113.30, since repeat violations within a five-year window trigger progressively serious criminal classifications. Those with control over or management responsibility for a property are explicitly named as potentially liable parties under this provision, making ongoing compliance documentation a common practice among responsible operators.
