Section 183-51 of Canton Village's Code of Ordinances establishes criminal consequences for failing to comply with a violation order issued by the agency within the deadline specified on that order.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 183-51, property owners and managers who receive a violation order from the agency are expected to complete all required corrective actions by the deadline printed on that order. Operators who miss that deadline risk criminal misdemeanor charges, which can result in fines starting at $100, jail time between 30 and 60 days, or a combination of both. Compliant operators typically document their remediation steps and confirm with the agency that the violation has been resolved before the stated deadline passes.

Section 183-51 gives tenants important context about the enforcement teeth behind agency violation orders: landlords who ignore those orders within the stated timeframe face misdemeanor criminal liability, not merely civil consequences. If a tenant believes a landlord has failed to comply with an outstanding violation order, they may report that non-compliance to the issuing agency, which has authority to pursue criminal charges. Tenant-rights organizations in the Canton Village area can help residents understand how this provision interacts with any open violations affecting their housing.
