How cleanup and repair orders work after a violation

A. If abatement of a violation or restoration of affected property, including the storm-drainage system or receiving waters, is required, the notice of violation issued under section 19.530.030 , must: 1. Set a deadline within which the responsible party must complete the abatement or restoration. 2. State that any costs associated with abatement or restoration will be at the responsible party's expense. 3. State that, if the violator fails to complete the abatement or restoration within the established deadline, the work will be done by a designated governmental agency or a contractor, and the expense will be charged to the responsible party. B. After completion of any abatement by the County, the director must deliver to the affected property owner by mail or personal delivery a post-abatement notice stating: 1. The actions taken by the County. 2. The reasons for the actions. 3. The costs of abatement, including administrative costs, and that the responsible party must pay the costs to the County within sixty days. 4. That a lien will be recorded against any property owned by the responsible party if the responsible party fails to pay the abatement costs by the deadline. C. In response to a notice issued under subsection A or B, the responsible party may file a written appeal under section 14.82.040 within twenty-eight days from the date the director mailed or delivered the notice.
