Notice of violation
Notices of violation are issued from Code Enforcement by local cities or towns when properties may be contrary to local codes and regulation, vehicles are substandard, inoperable or may have constituted a public nuisance. The ordinances under which violation notices or statements are performed vary from one country to another and between cities within a country or states.
Buildings
When property owners or tenants are found to have violated some code rules depending on area, they are given notices of violation, following which they have thirty to sixty days to correct the violation in question. Should the violation not be addressed or corrected within these time periods, or should other violations happen, the properties may be condemned by the Code Regulations, by health department or by building inspections workers/officials. This is when businesses, school/college properties or residences are marked not suitable for human occupancy, not safe or dangerous.Many cities and countries perform a violation notice on construction projects if/when they are not safe, are without a permit by which the construction can be approved or if the site contractors violate the license for which they are performing the construction work, for which case these licenses and permits may be revoked.
