SEC. 91.1.114.2. DUTY TO CORRECT VIOLATION.
   Paying a fine or serving a jail sentence shall not relieve any person from the responsibility for correcting any condition which constitutes a violation of section 91.1.114.1. A property owner shall be considered to have allowed any use or improvement of property occupied by, or under the dominion and control of the owner and the owner shall be responsible for the discontinuance and removal of any violation of section 91.1.114.1. The responsibility under this section shall include property leased to another person.

Alternatively, the building official may commence abatement proceedings as provided by the Public Nuisance Abatement Procedure in sections 16.201 et seq. of this code or any other procedure allowed by law. Any failure, refusal or neglect to obtain a permit required by this chapter shall be prima facie evidence of the fact that the person responsible to obtain the permit has committed a violation of section 91.1.114.1 and is causing a public nuisance.
(Added by Ord. No. 10146 (N.S.), effective 5-13-11; repealed and reenacted by Ord. No. 10464 (N.S.), effective 4-14-17; repealed and adopted by Ord. No. 10651 (N.S.), effective 2-28-20; repealed and adopted by Ord. No. 10829 (N.S.), effective 3-10-23)
SEC. 91.1.114.4. CITATION AUTHORITY. 
   Pursuant to Penal Code section 836.5, the building official may arrest a person without a warrant whenever the building official has reasonable cause to believe that the person arrested has violated this chapter. The person making an arrest under the authority of this section shall follow the citation-release procedures prescribed by the Penal Code or any procedure enacted by the State of California after the effective date of this section. No person shall exercise the power to issue a citation authorized by this section unless the person has completed a course of training that meets the minimum standards prescribed by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training established in Penal Code section 832(a).
