When the Enforcing Official determines that there has been a violation of this Code or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, such official shall serve a written notice of violation upon the persons responsible therefor. Such notice shall:
(a) Include a list of violations referring to the section of Code violated;
(b) Describe the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises where the violations exist or have been committed;
(c) Contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of the Code;
(d) Set a reasonable time for compliance, normally not to exceed thirty days unless the Housing Inspector deems it necessary to allow more time. After the allotted time has expired, a first reinspection will be conducted to determine compliance. If compliance has not been met, then a date will be set by the Housing Inspector for a second reinspection. A fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) will be paid by the owner or landlord for the second reinspection. Each additional reinspection will have a fee increase of one hundred dollars ($100.00). Thus, the third reinspection fee will be two hundred dollars ($200.00), the fourth reinspection fee will be three hundred dollars ($300.00) and shall continue to increase by one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each subsequent reinspection.
(e) Nonpayment of Fees: In the event the owner or landlord fails to pay the reinspection fee or fees within thirty (30) days of being so notified of such cost by the Housing Office, the unpaid fee shall be certified by the City to the Auditor of Columbiana County, to be placed upon the tax duplicate for collection as a special assessment.
(f) Advise the owner or occupant of the procedures of appeal.
