University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1466-05
Denial of occupancy
Operative Text
Where violations are found to pose an immediate danger to the public health and safety, the Director of Economic and Community Development and/or his or her designee shall prohibit the further occupancy of the premises until such time as such violations are abated.
Under University Park § 1466-05, when code violations at a residential property are determined to pose an immediate danger to public health and safety, the Director of Economic and Community Development—or a designated representative—has the authority to bar anyone from occupying that property. The prohibition on occupancy remains in effect until the identified violations are fully corrected. This rule gives the Director a direct enforcement tool to protect occupants and the broader public from hazardous conditions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1466-05, a compliant property operator addresses code violations promptly and thoroughly, particularly those that could be characterized as immediate dangers to health and safety. Operators who allow such conditions to persist risk an occupancy prohibition issued by the Director of Economic and Community Development or a designee, which can halt all use of the property until violations are abated. Maintaining records of inspections, repairs, and corrective actions is a practice commonly associated with operators who stay ahead of enforcement actions under this provision.

Section 1466-05 establishes that tenants living in conditions that pose an immediate danger to public health and safety may have grounds to request that the Director of Economic and Community Development inspect and, if warranted, prohibit further occupancy until hazards are corrected. If you believe your unit contains such dangerous conditions, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the local housing or code enforcement office, raising the existence of violations as a defense in relevant legal proceedings, or contacting a tenant-rights organization familiar with University Park housing regulations. Documenting the conditions with photographs and written communications is a step commonly taken by tenants who pursue remedies under provisions like § 1466-05.
