In addition to all the other remedies herein provided, the Director
may determine to erect a public identification sign on the public
right-of-way in front of property that is in violation of this code
and/or applicable State codes. The purpose of this sign is to let
the public know who the responsible person is that is contributing
to the blight of the neighborhood. The public identification sign
is intended to be used only after other code enforcement actions have
not been successful in gaining compliance.
(Prior code § 1-089)
The public identification sign shall, at a minimum, identify
the responsible person, stating in effect that the responsible person
is in violation of City codes and is thus contributing to the blight
of the neighborhood.
(Prior code § 1-090)
A.
In determining
when to use a public identification sign, the Director may consider
some or all of the following factors:
1.
The
duration of the violation.
2.
The
frequency or recurrence of the violation.
3.
The
seriousness of the violation.
4.
The
history of the violation.
5.
The
responsible person's conduct after receiving notice of the violation.
6.
The
good faith effort by the responsible person to comply.
7.
The
impact of the violation upon the neighborhood.
8.
Any
other factors that the Director deems appropriate.
B.
The
Director shall send the responsible person and/or property owner a
letter 10 days prior to posting the sign as a warning to the responsible
person providing a final opportunity for compliance. The Director's
decision to post the sign shall be final.
C.
The
sign shall remain until the Director determines that the responsible
person has made a good faith effort to remedy the violations.
(Prior code § 1-091)
