Enforcement is handled by the Climate Initiatives Department and the Code Enforcement Division of the Police Department.
When the city becomes aware of noncompliance, either through a complaint, failure to report compliance when required or inspection of the premises, a two-warning process begins prior to a fine.
- The first warning is a 30-day Notice of Pending Violation letter sent by Climate Initiatives staff.
- If the steps to become compliant are not completed within the 30 days allowed, the case will be referred to Code Enforcement at the Police Department for further investigation.
- If compliance is not achieved within 14 days of Code Enforcement opening an investigation, fines begin to be assessed.
