Hear Case Presentations to Determine Violation of City Code and Set Compliance Deadline
body
Submitted By: Isa Alvarez, Contractor Licensing Coordinator, Building Department
Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of a high-performing city government organization.
Presentation Information: City staff will present evidence and testimony regarding an alleged violation of the City Code at the Respondent’s property, after which the Special Magistrate will determine whether a violation exists and, if so, establish a deadline for compliance.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Special Magistrate determine whether the Respondent is in violation of City Code and, if so, set a deadline for compliance.
Background: A Building Compliance Coordinator discovered a violation of the City Code, either while in the field or from a complaint, notified the Respondent, and gave them a reasonable time to correct the violation. Upon determining that the violation was not corrected, the Building Compliance Coordinator requested a public hearing before the Special Magistrate. The purpose of this hearing is to determine whether the alleged code violation did in fact occur and, if so, whether the Respondent is legally responsible for that violation. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Special Magistrate issues an order setting a deadline for compliance. If the violation is not corrected by that deadline, a second public hearing is held at which time the Special Magistrate may impose a fine.
