Steps to the Process
1.) A complaint is received
2.) An officer is assigned to investigate; an inspection is scheduled as soon as possible, usually within 48 hours. Health and safety emergencies will be inspected as soon as an officer is available on the same day.
3.) If violations are found, a Notice of Violation is issued giving the property owner 14 to 30 days to comply, depending on the scale of the violation.
4.) A second inspection is done after the 14 to 30 day period. If the violation still exists, a Second and Final Notice is issued, giving the property owner an additional 14 to 30 days to comply.
5.) A third inspection is done after the 14 to 30 additional days. If the violation(s) still exist at this time there are several possible options:
- An Administrative Citation can be issued to the property.
- An abatement warrant can be served to immediately abate the violations.
- An extension can be issued, if there has been significant progress or effort by the property owner towards compliance.
Each day that the property remains in violation is considered a separate violation. If an Administrative Citation was issued, additional citations can be issued on a daily basis until the violation(s) have been abated. Citations start at $300 and escalate to $400 then $500. Once all violations have been abated, the case is closed.
