What if the property owner fails to comply with an ordinance?
Property owners who do not comply after the initial contact receive a 2nd letter stating the property is in violation. Continued noncompliance results in a 3rd and final letter informing the property owner they will receive a citation if they do not comply with the code(s). Each letter informs the owner of the reinspection date, which is not less than five days from the date of the letter. It is important to note that a conviction of a code violation is a misdemeanor and can result in fines of up to $1,000 and/or up to 90 days in jail.
