(a) If a rental dwelling or rooming house, either entirely or a portion thereof, has received a notice of violation from the Housing Inspector or Code Enforcement Inspector as described in Section 1345.03 or Section 1313.03, the permit of such rental dwelling or rooming house may be subject to suspension.
(b) At the end of the time allowed for correction of violations cited, the Housing Inspector or Code Enforcement Inspector, lacking sufficient documentary evidence of compliance, shall reinspect the rental dwelling or rooming house. If they determine that such conditions have not been corrected, they may issue an order suspending the operating permit.
(c) Any person whose permit to operate a rental dwelling or rooming house has been suspended shall be entitled to a reconsideration of the order by the Nuisance Board of Appeals in the manner herein provided. If no request for reconsideration or appeals reaches the Board within fourteen (14) days following receipt of an order of suspension, the permit shall be revoked, except that prior to revocation any person whose permit has been suspended may request reinspection, upon a showing that the violation(s) cited in the notice have been corrected.
(d) When the owner or agent has been ordered by the Housing Inspector or Code Enforcement Inspector to correct violations that may exist in a dwelling, the inspector shall reinspect the property to verify compliance with the original order. If additional inspections are required, due to noncompliance, a fee to be established by ordinance shall be assessed to the owner for each additional inspection. A reinstatement fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be established by ordinance.
