Cal. Civ. Code § 17975.7
California Health and Safety Code
Operative Text
The remedies under this article are cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available under federal, state, or local law.
Cal. Health & Safety Code § 17975.7 establishes that the enforcement tools and remedies created within this article do not replace or limit any other legal remedies that may exist under federal, state, or local law. Instead, they stack on top of whatever other options are already available. This means a single violation could potentially be addressed through multiple legal channels simultaneously.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Cal. Health & Safety Code § 17975.7, a property owner facing an enforcement action under this article should be aware that resolution of one claim does not necessarily extinguish exposure under other applicable laws. Compliant operators generally maintain thorough records of habitability standards, repairs, and communications precisely because multiple regulatory frameworks may apply to the same set of facts. Understanding that remedies are cumulative underscores the importance of proactive compliance across all applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
