The largest fine, of more than £40,000, was given to a Lincoln man who failed to maintain his two properties on St Catherine's despite being handed an Improvement Notice.
Some of the windows were broken, smoke alarms were missing and the toilets didn't work properly.
In another case, a landlord was fined more than £16,000 when inspectors discovered his house in the Sincil Bank area, with six tenants, had no fire doors and an inadequate fire alarm system.
And in another case, a landlord removed the handle of the front door so his tenant couldn't get in.
The three landlords had a duty of care to protect their tenants and had failed to do so, said City of Lincoln Council.

Their study found that more than 8,200 women could have survived their heart attacks had they been given the same quality of treatment as men, but researchers believe the actual number could be much higher.
The study, the biggest of its kind, looked at data from 2003 to 2013 and found women were less likely to receive the care recommended in health guidelines.
Researchers say that, as the study did not include all heart attacks in the UK over the 10-year period, it is likely the true number of lives lost to "unequal care" is much higher.
