The City shall notify in writing the holder of any hotel or motel permit of any alleged violation of this chapter. The Notice shall specifically list the section of non-compliance and adequately describe the violation. Personal delivery of the Notice of Violation to the reception desk of the hotel or motel, or delivery by certified or registered mail to the mailing address of the permit holder as appears on the permit application shall constitute service of the Notice. Upon receipt of a Notice of Violation, the hotel operator shall have fifteen (15) days to cure such alleged violation. Within the fifteen (15) day period the operator may submit a request to the City for an extension of time to cure the violation if the operator contends that the violation cannot be reasonably corrected within fifteen (15) days. Upon receipt of the response from the hotel operator requesting additional time, the City shall notify the operator within five (5) days as to the denial or grant of additional time to cure the violation. If the City Chief Building Official or his designee determines that violation has not been cured within the fifteen (15) day period, or period of any exception granted, the owner or operator may be cited pursuant to Section 735.99. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the permit holder has been notified of the same violation within the preceding twelve (12) months, the City need not provide a fifteen (15) day period to cure the violation and the owner, operator or permit holder may immediately be cited pursuant to Section 735.99.
