Grand Rapids City Code § 8.233
in effectSec. 8.233. - Time to Correct Violations.
Any Notice of Violation shall provide a specified time for achieving compliance in relation to the seriousness of the violation. If a Notice of Violation is issued, the following time limits shall be used:
(1) Not more than twenty-four (24) hours for an emergency.
(2) Not more than ten (10) days for correcting hazardous conditions.
(3) Not more than one hundred twenty (120) days for all other violations, except as stated otherwise below.
(4) The Administrator may approve an extension of time to correct a violation up to the doubling of the time provided in a written Notice when there are documented extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the responsible person or where the responsible person has made a substantial documented effort to correct violations. Granting of an administrative appeal shall be in lieu of an appeal to the Building Maintenance Appeal Board. No appeal to the Board shall be allowed if an administrative extension has been granted.
(5) No other extensions or further extensions shall be permitted except by order of the Building Maintenance Appeal Board for good cause shown. The Building Maintenance Appeal Board shall be permitted to grant extensions up to but not exceeding three (3) times the length of time provided within the original Notice of Violation. The Board shall not permit more than one (1) extension. The Board shall be permitted to grant extensions when it can be demonstrated to the Board's satisfaction that the time allowed is unreasonable, circumstances have prevented a good faith effort to comply, or substantial work has been completed and additional time is warranted to complete the necessary repairs.
