Notice of violation; order to correct; time limit for compliance. If the Director of Blight Remediation has reasons to believe, pursuant to an inspection
of the premises, that two (2) or more blight violation(s) of this article exist, the
Director of Blight Remediation or any designee(s) thereof may serve a written notice
of violation(s) and an order to correct such violation(s) to the owner's last-known
address by certified mail, return-receipt requested. If the owner's last-known address
is the same as the property where the violation has occurred, then a copy of the notice
of violation(s) and order to correct may be posted on the property at the time the
violations are noted. The notice requirements of this section are deemed satisfied
upon: (1) in the case of certified mail upon receipt by the City of either a signed
confirmation of delivery or the entire letter returned as non-deliverable, or(2) in
the case of the owner's address being the same as the address of the property where
the violation has occurred, upon leaving a copy of the notice of violation and order
to correct at the property at the time the violations are noted, or (3) in the case
of a copy sent electronically to an owner via email and receipt thereof is acknowledged
in return. The notice of violation(s) and order to correct shall direct the removal,
correction, or abatement of the violation(s) in the manner specified in the order
within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the notice except that such time frame
may be shortened in cases wherein the director of blight remediation determines that
the cited violations are detrimental to the life or health of any person. Such notice
shall notify the owner that failure to remove, correct, or abate the violation will
result in the issuance of a citation in accordance with this article. Such notice
shall further notify the owner that failure to remove, correct, or abate the violation
will result in fines being imposed that may be enforced subsequently as a lien on
the owner's property and may be converted into a court judgment, and the City may
cause the removal or abatement of the violation at the expense of the owner, which
may likewise result in a lien on the owner's property that may be converted into a
court judgment. (e)
