What happens when someone is in violation?

A Code Compliance investigator will notify the responsible part(ies) in writing by issuing a Corrective Work Order or a Notice of Violation. These documents will itemize code violation(s), require correction within a reasonable timeframe, and direct how to bring code violation(s) into compliance. Once the specified timeframe for compliance has expired, the investigator will conduct a follow-up inspection. If violation(s) are still found to be present, further action will be taken. This may result in the initiation of criminal or civil litigation.
