Penalty
Operative Text
Whoever violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall be fined not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation or noncompliance occurs or continues. (Ord. 602. Passed 11-22-83.)
University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1468-99 establishes a civil fine for any violation of the housing chapter's provisions. The fine ranges from $50 to $500, and each day that a violation continues is treated as a separate, independently punishable offense. This means that an unresolved violation can accumulate fines on a daily basis until it is corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1468-99, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any provision of the University Park housing chapter face fines starting at $50 and reaching up to $500 per day. Because each day of ongoing noncompliance constitutes a distinct offense, compliant operators generally address identified violations promptly to prevent fines from compounding. Maintaining records of corrective actions taken can help demonstrate timely compliance if a violation is ever disputed.

Section § 1468-99 gives tenants a basis to understand that housing code violations in University Park carry real financial consequences for landlords, with daily fines accumulating as long as a violation persists. Tenants who believe a landlord is in violation of the housing chapter may consider reporting the condition to the appropriate local code enforcement authority, which has the power to assess these fines.
