¶34 We find that there is no safe harbor for landlords once they have been notified that the dwelling will be condemned or will be unlawful to occupy, even if they are in the process of permitting.7 The statute inherently requires notice before the violation is issued because it applies only to landlords who “knew or should have known” about the conditions. RCW 59.18.085(3)(a). There is no additional opportunity to cure, and to impose one would allow landlords to delay the process and continue to rent unlawful dwellings without penalty.
