(a) In all cases, enforcement shall follow due process established as policy by this Code to assure consistency.
(b) A list of all noted violations signed by the inspector shall be presented to the owner, manager or person in charge of the building or premises stipulating a certain time, of not more than thirty days, in which the violations are to be abated and the possible penalty that could be imposed. If the responsible person is not available, this notification will be sent by regular mail.
(c) If the noted violations are not abated within the specified time frame, a registered letter shall be sent to the owner of the premises informing him or her that if the violations are not abated within five working days, legal action will be taken to achieve abatement.
(d) In the event that all orders for abatement go unheeded by the owner of the premises, the inspector, with the approval of the Director of Community Development or other Village designee, shall proceed with legal action as follows:
(1) If the violations are not threatening to the health, safety and welfare of the general public, citations for each unabated violation shall be written for each day the violation continues.
(2) If the violations are deemed, by the inspector, to be severe enough that continued existence of any violation could endanger the health, safety and welfare of the general public, the inspector shall post the facility as uninhabitable and prohibit any further transaction of business until the violations are abated. Additionally, a long form complaint with the Circuit Court shall be filed by the inspector against the owner of the property for each of the unabated violations.
