Comment: Over occupancy continues to be a problem. Although landlords and
tenants have been required to sign the Informational Disclosure and
Acknowledgement Form that specifically states the maximum occupancy of the
rental unit for over ten years, the form is often not completed or not fully completed
(e.g., not all tenants sign it). The civil penalties presently are $250 for first violation,
$500 for second, and $750 for third and subsequent violations. This ordinance will
increase the fine to $500 for first violation, $750 for the second, and $1,000 for third
