The City of Gaithersburg is cracking down on illegal occupancy issues by doubling fees for first-time violators of housing occupancy codes and encouraging residents to report neighbors they suspect may be overcrowding a dwelling.
Fees were previously $100 for a first-time overcrowding infraction, and the city’s new budget doubles the first-time fine to $200. Subsequent infractions will cost violators $1,000.
