(A) If a rental unit is in violation of any applicable law, the city shall mail a written report of the violation to the landlord within 10 business days of the inspection. The city shall allow the landlord not more than 30 business days to correct the violations. The report shall state a re-inspection date. A copy of the report will be available at City Hall. The landlord’s failure to receive a copy of the report does not limit the city’s right to enforce these requirements.
(B) After re-inspection(s), if the Inspector believes the landlord or his/her agent is not correcting the violations or allowing re-inspections, either by refusal or missed appointments, the Inspector may refer the violation(s) to the city’s administrative adjudication process.
(C) If the Inspector determines that the violation poses a significant threat to the health, safety or welfare of the tenant(s), the Inspector may determine the landlord or his/her agent shall correct the violation(s) after notice is given to the landlord or his/her agent.
(D) Time extension. The Department of Planning and Public Works may grant a 15 business day extension to the compliance deadline established in the violation notice if requested in writing and filed with the Department of Planning and Public Works by the responsible party before the re-inspection date.
(E) If the landlord is non-compliant and his/her rental license is not renewed or revoked for a rental unit, all other rental units owned by this landlord currently classified as self-inspection shall be reclassified and subject to annual inspections in the City Inspection category.
