(A) It shall be the duty of the Code Inspector to initiate enforcement proceedings of the various codes. However, no member of the Code Enforcement Board shall have the power to initiate such enforcement proceedings.
(B) Except as provided herein, if violation of the code is found, the Code Inspector shall notify the violator and give him a reasonable time to correct the violation. Should the violation continue beyond the time specified for correction, the Code Inspector shall notify the Code Enforcement Board and request a hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in § 32.057 herein. Written notice shall be mailed to the violator as provided in this subchapter and as other-wise provided in the Code of Ordinances of the city.
(C) If the Code Inspector has reason to believe that a violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, the Code Inspector may proceed directly to the procedures set forth in § 32.057 without notifying the violator. (Ord. 668, passed 10-5-83)
(D) If a repeat violation is found, the Code Inspector shall notify the violator but is not required to give the violator a reasonable time to correct the violation. The Code Inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall notify the Enforcement Board and request a hearing. The Code Enforcement Board shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice as provided in this subchapter and as otherwise provided in the Code of Ordinances of the city. The case may be presented to the Enforcement Board even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the Board hearing, and the notice shall so state.
(E) In addition to providing notice as set forth in subdivision (B) of this section, at the option of the Code Enforcement Board, notice may also be served by publication or posting as permitted by F.S. Chapter 162. (Ord. 668, passed 10-5-83; Am. Ord. 937, passed 11-7-90; Am. Ord. 1101, passed 10-2-94; Am. Ord. 1697, passed 9-7-11)
