What if a property owner refuses to take care of a violation?

If a property owner fails to comply after two written notices, they may be fined Civilly. Civil fines are non-criminal and are appealable to the Municipal Court. If an owner refuses or is unable to comply, the City may seek a warrant to enter the property and abate the nuisance at the owner’s expense.
