Once a complaint is has been filed, what are the steps for Code Enforcement?
Once a complaint has been filed, an inspector will conduct an inspection of the location. If the complaint is valid the Officer will mail a Notice of Violation to the property owner. The notice will have date for compliance to be achieved, at that time the Officer will conduct a re-inspection of the location. If the location has complied with the request in the Notice of Violation the case will be closed, however if the violation(s) still exist the Officer will mail a certified Notice to Appear for a Hearing to the property owner. The Notice to Appear for Hearing will have a date for the CEB meeting which is when the case will be heard by the Board members. At the meeting the Officer will give a brief description of the property, the violation(s) and a staff recommendation. The meeting will be opened to the property owner/violator for testimony or a brief statement to the Board members. The Board, after the testimonies, will make a decision based on the evidence and testimonies given. Each case heard will receive in the mail a Board Order stating the Findings and the Facts of the case for the CEB meeting. In the Broad Order a date for final compliance will be specified with the fine amount for non-compliance. The Officer will complete an inspection for compliance based off the date provided in the Board Order. If the location has complied with the request in the Board Order the case will be closed, however if the violation(s) still exist the property will go before the Board for a Non-Compliance Hearing and be found in non-compliance and a lien will be assessed against the property.
