A Code Compliance Officer may issue, either in person or by United States first class mail, an administrative notice to any person suspect or known to have committed a code offense and/or to the owner of property upon which a code offense is being committed. The administrative notice shall identify the code offense, the location in which the code offense occurred or is occurring, and the recommended corrective action for the code offense. The administrative notice may also state that the alleged violator has, at the discretion of the Code Compliance Officer, up to 15 days to correct or abate the code offense. If the alleged violator and/or owner upon which a code offense is being committed is unable to correct or abate the code offense within the prescribed time, he or she may request an extension from the Code Compliance Officer. Any extension granted by the Code Compliance Officer shall specifically state the date of expiration. If the code offense is not corrected or abated, as outlined in the administrative notice, within the prescribed time, the Code Compliance Officer may issue a citation, as provided below.
