(A) If, upon inspection, any substandard condition exists within the rental dwelling unit or its premises, the Community Development Director or designee will provide the property owner with a written "notice and order to correct" describing the substandard condition(s) and the location of the substandard condition(s). The notice will specify a reasonable time for correction of the substandard condition or conditions that ranges, depending on the severity of the condition, from 24 hours to 60 days from the date of the notice.
(B) The notice and order to correct will be mailed by first class mail to the property owner at the property owner's last known address as it appears on the latest equalized tax assessment roll of the county, or if the property is already registered in the rental program the information from the registration packet will be used. In the case of multiple property owners, service by mail of the notice and order to correct on any of the property owners is sufficient.
(C) If the condition is not corrected within the time limits provided in the notice, the city may abate the condition, issue administrative citations or take any other action authorized by the municipal code.
(D) This program does not preclude the city from taking any actions to address a substandard condition as authorized by the municipal code.
