A Notice of Violation and Order ("NOVO") can be issued at any time if the code enforcement official deems necessary and contains a directive to bring any code violations into compliance by a specific deadline and assess a fine per violation. The NOVO also includes a statement advising the violator of their right to appeal the issuance of the notice and order. Any appeal must be filed with the city within 14 days from the date of the NOVO.
A Voluntary Compliance Agreement (“VCA”) is a contract between the violator and the City, whereby the violator agrees to abate the violations within a specific timeline and according to specific conditions. If the violator does not bring their property into compliance, then per the terms of the VCA, the City can enter their property and abate the violations at the property owner’s sole expense or issue a Notice and Order.
