The Department of Planning and Development is responsible for conducting the necessary inspection and investigation to insure compliance with Chapter 18 and, through field notes, photographs and other means, documenting the presence of violations.

If, upon investigation, the department becomes aware of a condition it concludes to be unlawful under the terms of Zoning Code, it shall immediately notify responsible parties and those potentially liable. Such notice shall include a demand that the condition that is alleged to constitute a violation be halted or remedied, and a statement that a complaint about the condition will be transmitted to the county corporation counsel for prosecution if remedial action has not occurred within a minimum of 10 days. Responsible parties and those potentially liable shall include but not be limited to the landowner, tenants, and contractors.
