A re- <br />inspection will be scheduled (typically for two weeks out —14 <br />days are given to correct a violation). <br />� A re-inspection occurs. If the violation is not corrected <br />(approximately 50% are corrected by this time) the file is closed. <br />If the violation is not corrected, another inspection is conducted <br />and picture taken.

A re- <br />inspection is typically scheduled for two weeks out (14 days are <br />typically given to correct the violation). <br />• A re-inspection occurs. If the violation is corrected <br />(approximately 85%are corrected by this time) the file is closed. <br />If the violation is not corrected the Codes Coordinator will then <br />initiate contact to attempt a resolution. <br />� If the violation continues a decision must be made as to what <br />action would be appropriate. If it is determined that an <br />administrative ticket will be effective and likely resolve the <br />issue, one is issued. If it is determined by staff (Community <br />Development Director, City Attorney and Codes Coordinator) <br />that an administrative ticket would not be effective or would <br />not resolve the issue (or, if an administrative ticket has been <br />issued but has not resulted in compliance) a recommendation is <br />proposed to City Council that a Ramsey County Court Citation <br />be issued and the case referred to the City Attorney.

Also, staff has been emphasizing <br />flexibility in time frames for correcting violations. <br />� With a sampling of files, mail a thank you card and a customer <br />service card (askingfor comments on services provided and <br />suggested improvements). <br />6.
