PENALTY
Operative Text
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter, in addition to other legal and equitable remedies available to the city, shall be fined as provided below: (A) Any person violating any of the provisions or failing to comply with any of the mandatory requirements of this chapter shall be guilty of an offense. Except in cases where a different penalty is prescribed by any ordinances of the city, any person convicted of an offense under this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than a fine of $750. (B) Each day during which a violation of this chapter continues or is permitted to exist shall be considered a separate and distinct offense. (C) In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of this chapter, the prosecuting officer may proceed to hearing under any and all such sections any clauses; but not more than a maximum fine of $750 shall be had against the same person or entity for the same day of the same offense; provided that the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced. (D) The levy and/or payment of any penalty or fine provided in this chapter shall not be deemed a waiver of the power of the city to suspend, revoke or refuse to renew any license or permit for cause. (Ord. 2206, passed 1-11-2010; Am. Ord. 2332, passed 3-13-2012; Am. Ord. 2518, passed 10-21-2014)
LaSalle CHAPTER 152, § 152.99 establishes the penalty structure for violations of the city's residential rental property regulations. Each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense, with fines ranging from $50 to $750 per day. Paying a fine does not prevent the city from also suspending, revoking, or declining to renew a rental license or permit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 152.99, operators of residential rental properties in LaSalle face daily fines between $50 and $750 for each unresolved violation of Chapter 152. Compliant operators generally address any identified deficiencies promptly, since each additional day a violation persists can be treated as a new, independent offense. Importantly, paying a fine does not shield a license or permit from separate administrative action by the city.
