After receiving information from its fire department, the City again inspected the property in January 2001 and found numerous continuing code violations. In May 2001, the City filed a second criminal complaint against Gonzalez. This complaint contained 32 misdemeanor counts for code violations, many of which were identical to those in the first criminal case. Gonzalez pled nolo contendere to six of the counts, and was ordered to correct all code violations on the property by May 15, 2002. The court’s order authorized the City to enter the property and abate the violations if Gonzalez did not do so, and specified that any violations remaining uncorrected after 30 days would be deemed a public nuisance without the necessity of further hearing, order, or action by the City. The court placed Gonzalez on probation until April 2005.
