What does substantial compliance involve when addressing a violation?

  1. Paying a fine

  2. Installing security systems

  3. Elevating or relocating utilities; making lower levels uninhabitable

  4. Applying for government assistance

The correct answer is: Elevating or relocating utilities; making lower levels uninhabitable

Substantial compliance involves addressing a violation by elevating or relocating utilities and making lower levels uninhabitable. This option is correct because it directly relates to the action needed to resolve a violation. The other options are incorrect because they are not directly related to addressing a violation in the same way that elevating or relocating utilities and making lower levels uninhabitable are. Paying a fine may be a part of addressing a violation, but it is not the primary action. Installing security systems may help prevent future violations, but it does not address an existing violation. Applying for government assistance may be an option for addressing a violation, but it is not a clear or certain solution. Overall, none of the other options directly involve the physical action needed to resolve a violation, making them incorrect.
