Municipalities — fire code violations

Chris Buhler appeals the judgment of the circuit court following the court’s determination at a bench trial that he violated a Village of DeForest fire safety ordinance on 31 separate occasions in connection with an apartment building he owns. For the following reasons, this court sustains the court’s findings of ordinance violations as to the first 12 of the citations, but reverses as to the remaining 19. Accordingly, this court remands with directions for entry of an amended judgment permitting recovery by the Village for each of the initial 12 citations, and dismissing the remaining 19. This opinion will not be published.
