(A) Whenever the Inspector determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation pursuant to this subchapter, he or she shall give notice of the alleged violation to the owner responsible therefor, as hereinafter provided.
(B) The notice shall:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) Include a statement of any alleged violations;
(3) The city shall allow the owner and/or landlord not more than 30 business days to correct the violation(s). The report shall state a re-inspection date. A copy of the report will be available at City Hall. The owner’s and/or landlord’s failure to receive a copy of the report does not limit the city’s right to enforce these requirements.
(4) Be served upon the owner or his or her agent within ten business days of the inspection, and the occupant if he or she is not the owner, as the case may require; provided, that the notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon the owner or agent or upon the occupant, if a copy thereof is served upon him or her personally, or is sent by registered mail to his or her last known address, or is posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by the action.
(C) The notice may contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will affect compliance with the provisions of this subchapter and with rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
(D) Time extension. The Department may grant a reasonable time 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.
