Collection of charge
Operative Text
The village may avail itself of all remedies provided by law to effect the collection of such charges from the apartment house owners.
Section 40-4 of the Russell Gardens Code of Ordinances authorizes the village government to use any legally available remedy to collect charges owed by apartment house owners. This provision does not limit the village to a single collection method; instead, it preserves the full range of enforcement tools recognized under applicable law. The rule applies to charges assessed against apartment house owners, not tenants directly.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Russell Gardens Code ch. 40 § 40-4, the village retains broad authority to pursue unpaid charges through whatever legal mechanisms are available, which may include liens, civil actions, or other collection proceedings. Operators of apartment houses in Russell Gardens generally ensure that any charges assessed by the village are paid promptly to avoid triggering these collection remedies.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 40-4 of the Russell Gardens Code of Ordinances is directed at apartment house owners rather than individual tenants, so its direct impact on renters is limited. However, tenants who believe that collection-related disputes between the village and their landlord may be affecting their housing situation can seek general information from a local tenant-rights organization or housing counselor. Consulting publicly available village records or attending village board meetings are common ways residents learn more about how ch. 40 charges are being administered.
