(a) A citee may request a preliminary review of an citation within 14 days of the date the citation is issued. The citee must present a preliminary review request form, a copy of the citation and any additional information demonstrating the reasons why there was no violation or why the citee is not a responsible person for the violation to the City Treasurer. The purpose of the review is to identify any improper citations due to errors that are readily verifiable and not to resolve factual disputes concerning the citation.
(b) The preliminary review shall be conducted by the director of the issuing department or their designee. The reviewer shall not be the enforcement officer who issued the citation.
(c) If the determination of the preliminary review is that the citation is improper, the citation shall be dismissed. The citee shall be notified of the results of the review in writing within 10 working days of receipt of the request.
(d) A request for preliminary review does not extend any time periods for compliance, the penalty due date or the time to request an administrative hearing.
