SEC. 161.704. TIME TO COMPLY.

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

Except as provided otherwise in this article, the order shall give the owner not more than 30 days to correct the violation. If the inspections or reinspections do not occur within the time frames stated in this division, it does not remove the obligation of the owner or person in charge or control of the premises to comply with any orders or notices.

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

Except as provided otherwise in this article, the Department shall reinspect the building or dwelling unit within 5 days or as soon thereafter as possible, but no later than 15 days, of the compliance date specified in the order, and again within 5 days or as soon thereafter as possible, but no later than 15 days, of any extended compliance dates.

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

If the violation has not been corrected by the compliance date but significant progress has been completed, the inspector may grant a single extension of time, not to exceed 30 days. If upon subsequent reinspection the violation has not been corrected but significant additional progress has been completed since the previous inspection, the inspector’s supervisor may grant a single additional extension of time, not to exceed 30 days. Any other or further extensions of time may be granted only by the General Manager or the General Manager’s designee. The extensions permitted by this section are not automatic. In determining whether to grant any extension, the Department shall consider the criteria set forth in Section 161.602.1 and any other criteria set forth by regulation indicating a risk of recurring violations.

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

If the condition poses a serious risk to the health or safety of the occupants or the public, the inspector shall order the condition to be abated in not more than 14 days. No extensions of time shall be granted except by the General Manager or the General Manager’s designee.

(Added by Ord. No. 173,011, Eff. 1/30/00.)

Where the Department determines that the condition poses a present, imminent, extreme and immediate hazard or danger to life or limb, health or safety, it shall order abatement of the conditions within 48 hours. No extensions of time shall be granted except as provided by regulation. Within 24 hours after the time to abate, the Department shall conduct a reinspection of the building or dwelling unit to determine compliance with the order. If the condition has not been abated, the Department shall have the authority to make the necessary repairs and include the building or dwelling unit in the Urgent Repair Program as specified in Section 50.00 of this Code or any successor program established to ensure immediate repair of dangerous, life threatening conditions.
