Any person who claims to have been injured by an act made unlawful by this chapter, or who claims that he will be injured by such an act, may file a complaint with the director of the codes department. A complaint shall be filed within 180 days after the alleged unlawful act occurred.
Complaints shall be in writing and shall contain such information and be in such form as required by the office. Upon receipt of a complaint the office shall promptly investigate it and shall complete its investigation within fifteen (15) days. If the director of the codes department finds reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this chapter has occurred, or if a person charged with violation of this chapter refuses to furnish information to said office, the office may request the city attorney to prosecute an action in the city court against the person charged in the complaint. Such request shall be in writing.
Upon receiving such written request and with the assistance of the aggrieved person and said office, within fifteen (15) days, after receiving such request the city attorney shall be prepared to prosecute an action in the city court, provided a warrant is sworn out by the aggrieved person and served upon the person or persons charged with the offense.
