Operative words
It is unlawful for any person, association, or corporation, and the officers of the association or corporation to: (a) violate state laws or any lawful notice, order, standard, rule, or regulation issued under state laws or local ordinances regarding public health or sanitation; (b) violate, disobey, or disregard any notice or order issued by a local health department
Penalty
Class B misdemeanor on the first violation and class A misdemeanor on a subsequent similar violation within two years (subsection (5)(a)); liability for abatement expenses (subsection (5)(b)); each day a separate violation (subsection (7)); conviction does not relieve civil liability (subsection (6))
What it required
Every person, corporation and officer had to obey every lawful public health or sanitation notice, order, standard, rule or regulation and every notice or order of a local health department, and had to abate at its own expense, within the time ordered, any 'health hazard, or sanitation violation' on private property under its control 'whether the person, association, or corporation is the owner, tenant, or occupant of the private property' (subsection (1)(e)).
Retrieval noteOfficial versioned PDF; the PDF carries no 'Superseded' header, so this is the text in force throughout the claim period. Subsection (1)(a) reaches every State public health 'standard, rule, or regulation,' which makes it the sanitary-code offense as well as the local-order offense.
