(a) In the event that a fence has already been constructed without a permit, or an appeal has been denied and a fence has already been constructed in violation of this chapter, the owner of the property on which the fence is located shall be notified in writing that he is in violation of this Zoning Code before the penalty set forth in Section 1131.99 will be applied.
(b) It shall be the duty of each property owner to determine the property lines and to ascertain that the fence constructed does not encroach upon another lot or parcel of land. The City shall furnish such inspection as is deemed necessary to determine that the fence is constructed in accordance with plans submitted for the permit as outlined in Section 1165.02. However, the issuance of the permit by the City shall not be construed to mean that the City has determined that the fence is not encroaching upon another lot, nor shall it relieve the property owner of the duty imposed upon him or her herein.
