What Happens When You Ignore a Violation?
If you receive an order from the city to correct a violation, it is in your best interest to take care of it as soon as possible. Failure to comply with the order can result in additional fines, and if the violation is not corrected within a certain time frame, the city may take legal action against you. The sooner you take care of the problem, the less it will cost you in the long run.
Why Should You Take Care of Violations Right Away?
There are several reasons why you should take care of violations right away. First, if the violation is not corrected, it will only worsen over time and eventually cost more money to fix. Second, ignoring a violation can damage your reputation as a responsible building owner. Third, if the city takes legal action against you, it could result in the loss of your property. And finally, taking care of violations shows that you are committed to keeping your building up to code and in compliance with all city regulations
What you need to know:
- Failing to comply with a violation notice can result in fines of up to $1,000 per day.
- A lien is a legal claim against your property that must be paid off in full before you can sell or refinance the property. Liens can be placed on your property by the city or by private contractors who have not been paid for work they have done on your behalf.
- In extreme cases, failure to comply with a violation notice can result in up to 90 days in jail.
- In some cases, the city may deem a property uninhabitable and order it to be demolished. This is usually only done as a last resort when all other efforts to get the owner to take corrective action have failed.
