Amend city laws to strengthen code enforcement penalties
In Plain English
The city wants to update its code enforcement rules to give officials more tools when property owners violate city laws. Current penalties may not be strong enough to encourage compliance. If approved, the city gains both civil fines and criminal prosecution options for violations like unpermitted construction or property maintenance problems.
