A nuisance violation is generated on a complaint basis and is investigated by an inspector within the division. A Special Action Request is created for each complaint received in order to document the incident and to provide a response to the concerned citizen. The address of the property which is in violation should be provided the Inspection Division, as well as any other pertinent information regarding the violation. The property owner will be notified to abate the violation within seven days of the notice. If the violation is not corrected, the property owner will be assessed a fine as well as any costs incurred by the City in the removal of the violation.
Fines increase due to repeat offenses within a twelve month time frame.
