Macomb — Ch. 13 Housing § 13-19
Other actions
Operative Text
Nothing in this division shall prevent the city from taking action under any applicable city code or ordinance for any violation thereof or limit the right or authority of the city to seek injunctive relief or other applicable legal remedy for any violation of such code or ordinance.
Section 13-19 of Macomb's Housing Code clarifies that the remedies and procedures established elsewhere in this division do not operate as the city's only tools for addressing violations. The city retains the full range of enforcement options available under any applicable local code or ordinance, including the ability to pursue injunctive relief or other legal remedies. In other words, this provision acts as a savings clause, ensuring that no part of the division inadvertently narrows the city's broader enforcement authority.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 13-19, a property owner or manager should understand that compliance obligations extend beyond the specific requirements outlined in this division alone. The city of Macomb may simultaneously or alternatively pursue enforcement through other applicable codes, ordinances, or court-ordered remedies such as injunctions. Operators who maintain properties in full compliance with all applicable local codes are generally best positioned to avoid exposure across these multiple enforcement channels.

Section 13-19 signals that tenants are not limited to remedies found solely within this division when a housing violation occurs, because the city itself retains broad authority to act under other local codes and ordinances. If a landlord's conduct violates multiple provisions of Macomb's municipal code, the city may pursue several enforcement avenues at once, potentially strengthening the overall response to a violation. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the city's code enforcement office, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or reviewing other applicable Macomb ordinances to understand the full scope of available protections.
