Upon receipt of the complaint, a code compliance officer will make a visit to the location.  Once verified, a responsible party will receive a notice of the violation and be given a time frame to correct the problem.  The time frame will vary with the type of violation.   A failure to correct the problem will result in remedial or punitive action being taken.  Actions could include abatement by the City or its agents, or criminal complaint, or the issuance of an administrative citation.
