East Hazel Crest Ch. 6 Art. VIII § 6-148 establishes a tiered penalty structure for violations related to the registration of multiple dwellings. Each day a building remains unregistered counts as its own separate offense, and fines escalate for repeat violations within a 180-day window. Submitting false information on a registration statement carries its own distinct fines, and each day that false information goes uncorrected by the owner is treated as an additional separate offense.

Operators of multiple dwellings in East Hazel Crest should be aware that § 6-148 imposes daily fines for any period a building is out of compliance with the registration requirements of §§ 6-143 and 6-144. Compliant operators ensure registrations are filed accurately and on time, and promptly correct any errors on registration statements to avoid compounding daily penalties. Repeat violations within a 180-day period trigger a higher fine range, so maintaining up-to-date and truthful registration records is a core operational practice.
