Council Member Sandy Nurse inquires about the current fines for illegal lockouts and their effectiveness. HPD representatives provide limited information and redirect to the law department for more details.
- Current fines for illegal lockouts range from $1,000 to $10,000 per violation
- HPD representatives are unable to provide specific data on how often these fines are issued and collected
- The discussion highlights the need for follow-up with the law department for more comprehensive information

So the law currently allows the city to seek, various violations through judicial actions, but it's brought by the corporation counsel.

Again, HPD doesn't have a role in the litigation for illegal eviction or eviction in general.

The law department would be happy to meet with you and your team.
Sandy Nurse
