Sort of like - you can run a red light. There's nothing physically stopping you from doing so. And if there's no cop to witness it, you'll probably get away with it. But if you run it, and someone its your car - you really can't blame the city for putting the light there. It's your own fault for running it.
The landlord ran the red zoning light. The landlord has only themselves to blame for breaking the rules. As they say: FAFO.

Yes and no. She did break the rules but the elected officials put those "protections" for other criminals into the law.
