Proposed Administrative Enforcement Process An outline of the recommended administrative enforcement process, which would take approximately three months, follows: Step 1- Courtesy Notification: The notification process would begin with a Courtesy notice in the form of a multi-lingual door hanger to advise the individual of the violation. Step 2 – Notice of Violation: 10-days later, should the violation still exist, a NOV with information on the particular violation and needed remedy is posted on site and a copy is sent to the property owner via First Class mail and certified mail. The property owner is provided 10-days to remedy the violation. Notifications will be provided in English, Spanish & Chinese. The NOV will state that the City will abate the violation and provide the responsible party with an opportunity to appeal the notice of violation and show cause at a hearing as to why such condition should not be abated by the City at the responsibly party’s expense. Failure to appeal constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal the notice of violation and a failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Step 3 – Administrative Citation: Should the violation remain after the specified period, an Administrative Citation of $150 would be issued to the property owner. Step 4 – Administrative Citation: Should the violation remain after the specified period, an Administrative Citation of $300 would be issued. Step 5 – Administrative Citation: Should the violation remain after the specified period, an Administrative Citation of $600 would be issued. The City could continue to issue Administrative Citations up to the amount of $5,000 cumulatively. Step 6 – Obtain Warrant from Judicial Court to Abate: A public works maintenance worker has been added to the Community Care team to assist with abatement which should decrease the amount of time it takes to abate nuisances. 149
