Whenever an enforcement officer charged with the enforcement of this code or any County ordinance determines that a violation has occurred, the enforcement officer may issue a warning of an administrative citation to any person responsible for the violation. A warning shall be served as a prerequisite to the issuance of a first administrative citation. The warning shall identify the code or ordinance section violated, provide a description of the violation and how it can be corrected. The warning shall specify a time and date by which the violation shall be corrected, after which an administrative citation may be issued if the violation is not fully corrected. The enforcement officer shall provide for a reasonable period of time to correct the violation after considering the circumstances of the case, except that at least 24 hours shall be allowed from the time and date of the warning for the violation to be corrected. A warning shall not be required before issuing a second or any subsequent administrative citation for a continuing or repeated violation.
