Section 9.12.070 of Havana's Title 9, Chapter 9.12 establishes that violations of the housing discrimination chapter carry criminal penalties. Upon conviction, the punishment is determined by reference to the general penalty provisions set out in Chapter 1.16 of the Havana municipal code. This cross-reference structure means the specific penalty range is defined elsewhere in the code rather than within this section itself.
