zoning violation
Illegal property usage
A zoning violation occurs when property is used in a way that conflicts with local land-use regulations—operating a business in a residential zone, building too close to property lines, or exceeding height limits.
Violations typically result in fines, orders to cease the activity, or requirements to obtain variances: The city cited the homeowner for a zoning violation after neighbors complained about the auto repair business in his garage.
