§ 14.5-2. Points assessed on permit.

(a)

Violations; warnings; points. When a dwelling unit regulated by this article is the subject of repeated warnings of violation and/or adjudication of guilt, finding of guilt with adjudication withheld, waiver of right to contest the violation, or pleas of no contest (including, but not limited to, payment of fine) of the following city ordinances:

(1)

Noise ordinances (chapter 15 of the Code of Ordinances);

(2)

Animal control ordinances (chapter 5 of the Code of Ordinances);

(3)

Solid waste ordinances (article III of chapter 27 of the Code of Ordinances);

(4)

The provisions of section 30-57 concerning habitation by more than one family;

(5)

Yard parking ordinance (subsection 30-56(c)(4) of the Code of Ordinances);

(6)

Section 13-171 (related to insects, storage, trash and yard maintenance); or

(7)

Section 13-181 (related to hazardous conditions).

The landlord permit for the dwelling unit shall be subject to the accumulation of points as follows:

a.

For one or more written warnings given in any 24-hour period for violation of one or more of the ordinances listed above, one point will be assessed on the landlord permit for that unit. For each instance of adjudication of guilt, finding of guilt with adjudication withheld, waiver of right to contest the violation, or plea of no contest (including, but not limited to, payment of fine) for violation of any of the ordinances listed above, two points will be assessed on the landlord permit for that unit. However, to the extent more than one person is adjudicated guilty, found guilty with adjudication withheld, waives the right to contest the violation or pleads no contest for the same violations that occur within a 24-hour period, only two points will be assessed on the landlord permit for that unit. For purposes of this section, written warnings shall mean those warnings issued pursuant to civil citation or code enforcement procedures, including stickers placed on vehicles advising of violation of the yard parking ordinance.

b.

After each point is assessed on a landlord permit for a unit, the city manager or designee shall send a written warning to the owner(s) or agent. Each warning shall specify which ordinance or ordinances have been violated and shall state that further warnings or violations may lead to a revocation of the permit.
