If a valid city address is submitted with the complaint, a notice is sent to the owner on record. All notices are order requiring the recipient to correct the violation within a fixed period of time, which varies depending on the violation. If the responsible party fails to comply with the notice in a timely manner, that individual is subject to legal action in Housing Court. It is important to remember that many problems are unable to be resolved through code enforcement and must be resolved through the court system, which can be time consuming.
