Hesperia, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.150
Certificate of rental inspection compliance—Effect on remedies
Operative Text
A. This chapter is not intended to, and shall not be construed to limit, in any way, the remedies available to the city to prosecute persons for violations of law or to abate public nuisances
Section 5.72.150 of the Hesperia Code of Ordinances clarifies that the rental inspection compliance certificate program does not replace or reduce any other legal tools the city already has. The city retains its full authority to pursue criminal or civil prosecution for violations and to take action to abate public nuisances, independent of the certificate program. In other words, obtaining or failing to obtain a certificate of rental inspection compliance does not shield anyone from other applicable enforcement actions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hesperia Code of Ordinances § 5.72.150, compliance with the rental inspection certificate program does not insulate a property owner from other city enforcement mechanisms. Operators who maintain properties in full compliance with all applicable codes generally reduce their exposure to prosecution or nuisance-abatement proceedings that exist alongside the certificate program. Being current on inspection certificates is one layer of compliance, not a substitute for meeting all other legal obligations the city may enforce.

Section 5.72.150 of the Hesperia Code of Ordinances preserves the city's full range of enforcement remedies beyond the rental inspection certificate program. This means that even if a landlord has obtained a certificate, the city can still pursue separate violations of law or public nuisance conditions affecting a rental property. Tenants who believe conditions in their unit rise to the level of a code violation or public nuisance may contact the City of Hesperia's code enforcement office or consult a local tenant-rights organization to understand what additional enforcement avenues may be available.
