in effect18.50.100: ENFORCEMENT:
A. Determination: If the building inspector determines that a violation of this chapter exists, the building inspector may take the actions specified in this section.
B. Warning Notice:
1. Notice: If the building inspector finds that any provision of this chapter is being violated, the inspector shall provide a written notice to the responsible party. The written notice shall indicate the nature of the violation and order the action necessary to correct it. The written notice shall state what action the inspector intends to take if the violation is not corrected. The written notice shall include the time period in which the violations must be corrected, which will be based on their severity.
2. Delivery of Notice: Such written notice issued by the inspector shall be deemed sufficient and complete when served upon the responsible party as follows:
a. Personally by the inspector or his or her representative; or by mailing, postage prepaid, by certified mail, return receipt requested or any reputable mail tracking service that is capable of confirming delivery, addressed to the responsible party at the last known address appearing on the records of the county recorder; and
b. By posting notice on the property where said violation(s) occurs.
3. In cases when delay in enforcement would seriously threaten the effective enforcement of this chapter, or pose a danger to the public health, safety or welfare, the inspector need not issue a warning notice.
C. Notice and Order: If, after issuance of the warning notice (if required), the violations have not been corrected by the time period stated in the notice, the building inspector may issue a notice and order pursuant to Section 18.24.040. The notice and order need not provide any additional correction period and may impose fines beginning on the date it is issued.
D. Remedies: Upon issuance of a notice and order, the building inspector may pursue any remedies allowed by Sections 18.24.030 and 18.24.050, except that civil fines shall accrue as set forth in the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule specific to the violations of this chapter.
E. Daily Violations: Each day a violation continues after the issuance of the notice and order (or cure deadline stated therein, if applicable) shall give rise to a separate civil fine.
F. Compliance: Accumulation of fines for violations, but not the obligation for payment of fines already accrued, shall stop upon correction of the violation(s) once confirmed through an inspection requested pursuant to Subsection 18.24.040.A.3.
G. Recurring Violations: In the case where a violation, which had been corrected, reoccurs at the property within 6 months of the initial correction and is due to the actions or inactions of the same responsible party as the prior violation, the city may begin enforcement of said recurring violation and impose fines after a 10 day warning period.
