A. If the director determines after investigation that this chapter has been violated, the director may have a notice of violation served upon the owner and the tenant or other person believed to be responsible for the condition. The notice shall be served by personal service or by the United States mail addressed to the last known address of the owner and the tenant or other person believed to be responsible for the condition. The notice shall state separately each violation of this chapter and what corrective action is necessary to comply with the chapter. A reasonable time for compliance shall be established in the notice.

B. The notice of violation shall not be amended by the director to include additional violations as a result of any reinspection for compliance or other purposes except upon a clear showing that the amendment is necessary for the protection of public safety, health and general welfare and that the additional violation did not exist or could not reasonably have been discovered at the time of the original inspection. (Ord. 831 § 2, 1997).
