(A) When a Code Inspector finds a code violation while inspecting a property or structure, he or she shall note the violation on a multiple copy violation notice and report form indicating the name and address of the property owner, the type and nature of the violation, the date and time the violation was observed, the names of witnesses to the violation, and the address of the structure or property where the violation is observed.
(B) The violation report form shall be forwarded by the Code Inspector to the Code Hearing Division where a docket number shall be stamped on all copies of the report and a hearing date noted in the blank spaces provided for that purpose on the form. The hearing date shall not be less than 30 nor more than 40 days after the violation is reported by the Code Inspector.
(C) One copy of the violation report form shall be maintained in the files of the Code Hearing Division and shall be part of the record of hearing; 1 copy of the report form shall be returned to the Code Inspector so that he or she may prepare evidence of the Code violation for presentation at the hearing on the date indicated; and 1 copy of the report form shall be served by first class mail on the property owner, along with a summons commanding the property owner to appear at the hearing. If the name of the property owner cannot be ascertained, or if service on the owner cannot be made by mail, service may be made on the owner by posting or nailing a copy of the violation report form on the front door of the structure where the violation is found or otherwise conspicuously posting notice on the property not less than 20 days before the hearing is scheduled.
