In all cases, violations are brought to the appropriate Code Enforcement Board unless corrective measures have been taken within the time specified by the code enforcement officer. However, in those cases where an extension of time will allow for correction and there is no public health hazard created by the delay, one extension of time not to exceed the original time period may be given.

Notwithstanding any other provision for enforcement of this chapter, civil enforcement of any provision of this chapter may be undertaken before the Code Enforcement Board pursuant to regulations, procedures, and penalties established by said Board. Civil procedures and criminal procedures for any one violation of this chapter shall be mutually exclusive.
