Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-131
Fines
Operative Text
Any person found in violation of any provision of this article by the commission, or in subsequent judicial proceedings in a court of law, shall be fined not more than $750.00 for each violation.
Section 13-131 of Macomb's Housing Code establishes a monetary penalty for violations of the housing article it governs. Any person — whether an individual or an entity — who is found in violation, either by the commission or through a court proceeding, may be assessed a fine. The maximum fine is $750 per violation, meaning each distinct violation can carry its own separate penalty.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-131, property owners and managers who are found in violation of the housing article's requirements face fines of up to $750 for each violation identified. Operators who maintain properties in continuous compliance with the article's standards reduce their exposure to these per-violation fines. Keeping thorough maintenance records and promptly addressing any cited deficiencies are practices generally associated with compliant property management.

Section 13-131 signals that the housing article carries real financial consequences for violators, which can support enforcement when conditions fall short of code requirements. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating the housing article may have the option of reporting concerns to the Macomb commission, which has authority to find violations and impose fines. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what the article requires and what general options exist for raising a violation.
