12.17.008 Time to comply.
A. Determination of Time. When calculating a reasonable time for compliance, the public works director shall consider the following criteria:
1. The type and degree of violation cited in the notice;
2. The stated intent, if any, of a responsible party to take steps to comply;
3. The procedural requirements for obtaining a permit to carry out corrective action;
4. The complexity of the corrective action, including seasonal considerations, construction requirements and the legal prerogatives of landlords and tenants; and
5. Any other circumstances beyond the control of the responsible party.
B. Order Becomes Final Unless Appealed. Unless an appeal is filed with the public works director for hearing before the hearing examiner in accordance with GHMC 12.17.014, the notice of violation shall become the final order of the public works director. A copy of the notice shall be filed with the Pierce County auditor. The public works director may choose not to file a copy of the notice or order if the notice or order is directed only to a responsible person other than the owner of the property. (Ord. 870 § 1, 2001).
