A. Within five days of issuance of a notice to correct/notice of violation for a continuing building, plumbing, electrical or other structural or zoning violation that does not create an immediate danger to health or safety, a person receiving such notice(s) and citation may request in writing that the director review a contested notice to correct and/or notice of violation. The director, or his or her designee, shall review all contested notices prior to the effective date of an administrative citation. The director shall have the authority to modify or rescind any contested notice that he or she finds was issued in error based on the code section noticed or other information provided by the noticed person. If the director does not modify or rescind any contested notice or fails to take any action by the effective date of the administrative citation, the notice and citation, and deadlines stated in each, remain in full force. There is no separate right to appeal from the director’s review or determination on a notice of correction or violation, but any assertions of error or challenges to the director’s review or determination may be raised as part of any appeal from an administrative citation pursuant to Section 1.24.100.

B. If an administrative citation is issued in conjunction with a related city enforcement action and the other action requires review by another advisory body (i.e., the planning commission) or city council, the city manager, or city manager’s designee, in his or her sole discretion, may consolidate review of the administrative citation with the review of the other related action(s), and refer review of all related matters to the body with jurisdiction over the violation requiring the highest level of review.
