Create new law allowing city to recover costs from code violations and legal cases
In Plain English
The city currently cannot recover money it spends investigating violations or pursuing legal cases. This new law would let the city charge violators for inspection costs, legal fees, and administrative expenses. If approved, property owners and businesses could pay additional fees beyond standard fines when they break city rules.
