It can issue a criminal citation against the offending property owner. In <br />Ramsey County itcould be nine (9) months from the date that the citation is <br />filed until the matter is tried to a jury. The maximum fine for a misdemeanor <br />violation is $1,000 or 90 days in jail, or some combination thereof. The <br />court does not have the authority to enforce compliance but usually will <br />suspend all or part of a sentence if the property owner complies with the <br />City's regulations within a specific time. <br /> <br />2. The City can commence a civil suit against the offending property owner. <br />Since this type of case would usually involve non emergency matters, it could <br />take up to nine (9) months from the date on which the civil complaint is filed <br />until the court trial. The City would be asking the court to issue an order <br />requiring the offending property owner to either comply (ie, register the <br />property) with the City's regulations within a specific time; or issue an order <br />which prevents the offending property owner from renting property until the <br />property owner complies with the City's regulations. The City would request <br />its fees and costs. <br /> <br />3. The City could conduct a hearing to suspend or revoke the rental unit <br />certificate. <br /> <br />'ALSO ADMITIED IN WISCONSIN <br />
