(B) During or after the investigation, but subsequent to the mailing of the notice of complaint, the Administrator shall, if it appears that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is threatening to occur, attempt by informal endeavors to effect conciliation, including voluntary discontinuance of the discriminatory housing practice and adequate assurance of future voluntary compliance with the provisions of this subchapter.

(C) (1) Upon completion of the investigation and informal endeavors at conciliation by the Administrator, but within 100 days of the filing of the complaint with the Administrator, if the efforts of the Administrator to secure voluntary compliance have been unsuccessful, and if the Administrator has made a determination that a discriminatory housing practice has in fact occurred, the Administrator shall recommend to the City Attorney that the violation be prosecuted in the Municipal Court.
(2) The City Attorney shall make a determination as to whether to proceed with prosecution of the complaint in Municipal Court.
(3) If the City Attorney determines to prosecute, he or she shall institute a complaint and prosecute it to conclusion within 30 days after such determination, or as soon thereafter as possible.
