(A) All fines and other payments must be made within ten calendar days.
(B) If the administrative hearing officer issues an order of compliance, the administrative hearing officer may order the respondent to post either cash or other security bond to ensure respondent’s timely compliance. Any noncash security bond shall name the city as beneficiary and shall be in the amount specified by the administrative hearing officer. Any bond issued as a result of an administrative hearing officer’s order is subject to review and approval by the Mayor. If the respondent fails to timely remedy the code violation(s) for which a bond has been issued and the city undertakes remediation or otherwise expends funds related to the code violation(s), the administrative hearing officer, after giving the parties notice and an opportunity to be heard, may issue an order permitting the city to draw against the bond in an appropriate amount. The administrative hearing officer shall order the bond amount, less the reasonable costs incurred by the city, returned to the respondent upon proof of compliance. Upon failure to achieve compliance, the administrative hearing officer shall, upon written petition of the city, increase the assessed fine by 10% for each day beyond the original compliance date that compliance has not been achieved.
