(a) Administrator's authority. The administrator shall have the authority to enforce this article.
(b) City Attorney's authority. If any person violates the requirements of this article or any order of the administrator issued pursuant to the provisions hereof, the City Attorney or the City Attorney's designee, without further City Council approval, may take any and all legal actions necessary or appropriate to enforce said requirements. The City Attorney or the City Attorney's designee may seek any legal and/or equitable relief necessary or appropriate to prevent, stop, rectify, punish, or in any way obtain redress for any such violation. Such action by the City Attorney or the City Attorney's designee may include, but is not limited to, enforcement in the municipal court, filing of appropriate civil actions in a court or courts of appropriate jurisdiction, or defending the city from suit.
(c) Owner's, landlord's, lessor's, or sublessor's responsibility. The owner, landlord, lessor, or sublessor shall be responsible for compliance with this article.
(d) City's responsibility. Although the city attempts to inspect multi-family dwelling complexes and to enforce applicable city regulations, a valid multi-family dwelling license does not guarantee that the inspected multi-family dwelling complex is safe. The city does not warrant that any multi-family dwelling complex, whether inspected or uninspected, is compliant with federal, state or local regulations, including without limitation the regulations set forth in this article.
