If the Department believes a violation of this Chapter, a Franchise, or a UCP has occurred, either as the result of a complaint filed pursuant to Section 11.74 above, or through any other means independent of that process, which, after consultation with the City Attorney, the Department determines does not warrant Franchise revocation pursuant to Section 11.16 above, or action pursuant to Section 11.5 above, the Department shall serve a written notice of violation upon the Person responsible for the violation. The notice of violation shall contain specific allegations, setting forth the violations of this Chapter, a Franchise, or a UCP, shall specify the manner in which the violation must be remedied, and shall state whether the Department intends to seek suspension of excavation permits pursuant to Section 11.83 below. The responsible Person shall have ten (10) City business days to correct or otherwise remedy the violation. The responsible Person may contact the Department, if necessary, to discuss the violation. For violations that create an imminent danger to public health, safety, or welfare, the Department shall have the authority to: (1) remedy the violation and charge the costs of such remedy to the responsible Person; or (2) notify the responsible Person to immediately remedy the violation.
