.010 Building Violations. When a Code Enforcement Officer determines that a building violation exists, a notice of violation shall be issued allowing a correction period of thirty (30) days, or such longer correction period as may be specified in the notice, for correction of the violation, and the person receiving such notice shall correct the violation within such period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, no person responsible for a building violation shall be issued a citation for such violation unless the violation continues to exist after the thirty-day period, or such longer specified period as allowed for its correction, including any extension period approved pursuant to subsection .030 of this section.
.020 Other Violations. When a Code Enforcement Officer determines that any violation of this Code exists which such Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to enforce, other than a building violation, the officer may issue a notice of violation, allowing a period for the correction of the violation and, if so issued, the person receiving such notice shall correct the violation within such period, or within any extension thereof, as approved pursuant to subsection .030 of this section.
.030 The recipient of a notice of violation may request an extension of any correction period, provided such request is filed with the Manager before the specified correction period expires. The Manager shall grant a reasonable extension of the period of time to correct the violation, if the recipient thereof has supplied substantial evidence showing that the correction cannot reasonably be made within the correction period specified in the notice, or that mitigating or extenuating circumstances exist which reasonably require an extension of the correction period. The filing of a request for such an extension does not, unless and until granted, extend the correction period or any other time periods set forth in this chapter.
.040 If a violation has not been corrected by the end of the correction period, the Code Enforcement Officer has authority to issue a citation to any person(s) responsible therefor pursuant to this chapter. The citee shall be liable for and shall pay to the City the fine(s) described in the citation, which fine(s) shall be due on the date the citation is issued. Additional civil citations may be issued and fines imposed for every day the violation continues uncorrected after the date the first citation is issued, provided that no additional civil citations shall be issued and additional civil fines shall not be imposed until expiration of any correction period provided.
.050 Nothing contained in this section shall require the issuance of any additional notice of violation or any additional correction period after issuance of any civil citation and prior to issuance of any subsequent civil citation for any continuing violation or subsequent violation of the same Code provision provided not more than one additional civil citation shall be issued for any continuing violation or subsequent violation for each period of time since the issuance of the most recent civil citation which period is equal to the original correction period given or required (not including any time extensions to the original correction period).
.060 Any additional civil citation(s) issued following the timely filing of a request for administrative review and prior to any administrative review hearing held pursuant to § 1.20.100 for a prior civil citation involving a continuing violation of subsequent violation of the same Code provision shall be adjudicated by the Hearing Officer at the same time as the hearing and decision on the prior civil citation (s) provided the party cited has timely requested administrative review of such additional citation(s) and made the required fine deposit(s) or received a waiver thereof prior to the date of such administrative review hearing.
.070 Nothing contained in this section shall prevent the use of any other civil or criminal remedies for continuing or subsequent violations of the same Code provision during the period a civil citation is under administrative or judicial review.
