## Sec. 32-150. Existing Conditions

Prince George's County, Md., Code § 32-150 (2026)

(a) Remedy of Defects. Deficiencies, Discharges, Connections and Maintenance. Whenever and wherever the Director finds that any existing grading, drainage, ground condition, discharge or drainage connection is defective, deficient or illegal under the requirements of this Division and constitutes or creates a public nuisance or hazard, or will result in adverse impacts to water quality or may cause damage to property, drainage system, or a watercourse, then and in such event the owner/permittee of the property upon which condition is located, or the person responsible for the condition, upon receipt of notice in writing from the Director, shall within the period specified therein, secure the required permit, perform or cause to be performed the required remedial work, repairs or maintenance so as to correct and remedy the defect or condition, and to be in conformance with the requirements of this Division and other requirements of this Subtitle.

(b) Disregard of Notice to Remedy Condition; Penalty or Enforcement. Failure to complete or undertake the required remedial work within the period specified shall constitute a violation(s) pursuant to Sections 32-107 and 32-118 of this Subtitle. If an act, omission or condition constituting a violation is of a continuing nature, each day that a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense. The actual application of the penalty provisions of these Sections, or the possible prospective application thereof shall not preclude the enforced removal, correction or abatement of prohibited conditions or use through appropriate proceedings in a court of law. The notice provisions of Sections 32-107 and 32-118 and as amended herein shall not be applicable when, in the determination of the Director, there is an unsafe condition of soil or premises, or both, which constitutes a violation of one or more of the provisions of this Division and is a serious, immediate threat to the health or safety of the general public or adjacent property.

(c) Emergency Measures. The application of such penalty shall not preclude the enforced removal, abatement or correction of the conditions which were found to be in noncompliance, through appropriate proceedings in a court of law. In addition, the County may take those actions necessary to correct the situation, and all costs incurred therefore shall be recovered from the responsible person in accordance with Section 32-108(e), or through other legal recourse.
