§ 25-57. Complaints.

Whenever an alleged or possible municipal infraction comes to the attention of the zoning administrator, the procedure to follow is:

(1)

That the zoning administrator will investigate whether an infraction has occurred.

(2)

After investigation, if the zoning administrator shall find that any of the provisions of this chapter are being violated he shall notify in writing the person responsible for such violations, indicating the nature of the violation and ordering the action necessary to correct it, including, but not limited to, discontinuance of illegal use of land, buildings, or structures; additions, alterations, or structural changes; discontinuance of any illegal work being done; or any other action authorized by this chapter to ensure compliance with or to prevent violation of its provisions.

(3)

That, if he reasonably finds that an infraction continues to occur, he will issue a warning to the person or persons responsible in the form and manner as outlined in this section, with a reasonable time stated to abate or to prevent future infractions.

(4)

That, if the infraction continues or is allowed to occur after the reasonable time stated, the zoning administrator will issue a citation to the person or persons responsible in the form and manner as outlined herein. Notwithstanding the provisions of steps 2 and 3 above, the zoning administrator may issue a citation at step 2 or 3 without the prior issue of a warning.
