Building Code violations can be criminally prosecuted when they are not addressed in a timely fashion. These offenses can result in substantial fines and, in some cases, the imposition of jail time.

- Client owned a building with an illegal marijuana dispensary in it. We presented evidence the client was unaware that the business the tenants were running was not legal.
