(a) Reinspections required. An owner or responsible local agent who is provided with written notice of a code violation or violations, shall correct the code violations within the period of time specified in the notice of violations. Failure to correct a code violation within the specified period of time constitutes a nuisance per se and may result in the residential rental structure or residential rental unit being posted for noncompliance with the City’s property maintenance code and/or any other applicable codes or regulations.
(b) Failure to have property timely reinspected. Following inspection and notice of violations, should the owner, the owner's responsible local agent, or the person responsible for the structure fail to facilitate a reinspection prior to the date specified for correction of the violations or by any extended date granted by the department, it shall be presumed that any violations in the notice of violations that have not been previously reinspected and approved have not been corrected and the owner or responsible local agent shall be responsible for failing to repair those violations as if they had not been corrected.
(c) Inability to conduct reinspection. Should the department not be able to gain entry to a residential rental structure or residential rental unit for a scheduled reinspection then it shall be presumed that any violations in the notice of violations that have not been previously reinspected and approved have not been corrected and the owner or responsible local agent shall be responsible for failing to repair those violations as if they had not been corrected.
