Monmouth — Ch. 124 Rental Registration and Inspections § 124.08
Results of inspection
Operative Text
The City shall issue a certificate of inspection to a landlord if, after inspection, the rental unit meets applicable law. (1) If a rental unit is in violation of any applicable law, the City shall mail a written report of said violation to the landlord within 21 days of the inspection. The City shall allow the landlord 21 days to correct the violations. The report shall state a re-inspection date. A copy of the report will be available at City Hall. The landlord's failure to receive a copy of the report does not limit the City's right to enforce these requirements. (2) The City shall issue a certification of inspection if the violations are corrected. If the violations are not corrected, a certificate of inspection shall not be issued and the City may take whatever action is necessary to enforce compliance with the applicable laws.
Under Monmouth Ch. 124 § 124.08, the City issues a certificate of inspection when a rental unit passes inspection and complies with applicable law. If violations are found, the City must mail a written violation report to the landlord within 21 days of the inspection and allow 21 days for corrections, along with a scheduled re-inspection date. If violations remain uncorrected after that period, the City may withhold the certificate and pursue whatever enforcement action is necessary to compel compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 124.08, compliant operators ensure their rental units meet all applicable legal standards before inspection so that a certificate of inspection can be issued without delay. If a violation report is mailed following an inspection, landlords generally act promptly within the 21-day correction window and confirm the re-inspection date stated in the report. Importantly, § 124.08 specifies that failure to actually receive the mailed report does not limit the City's enforcement authority, so operators typically maintain current mailing addresses with the City and monitor compliance proactively.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 124.08 establishes a formal inspection and certification process that is designed to ensure rental units meet applicable legal standards. Tenants should be aware that violation reports filed under this provision are available for public review at City Hall, which can serve as a useful record when evaluating the condition of a rental unit. Tenants who believe their unit has unresolved violations may consider contacting the City of Monmouth directly, reviewing available reports at City Hall, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
