Property owners whose buildings have been classified as having a chronic history of violations under ch. 149 § 149-78 should be aware that their building's status and the actions taken against it are subject to monthly reporting to the Mount Vernon City Council. Compliant operators generally work to resolve outstanding violations promptly, since ongoing enforcement actions will be documented in each monthly report. Maintaining a clear record of remediation efforts can be relevant if a building's classification or the actions taken are ever reviewed.
