4. Why did i get a door hanger?

If you received a door hanger, this is not a citation. This is to notify you, a violation has been encountered on the premises, and you must correct it accordingly. You may also request an extension by contacting the Code Officer and negotiate a reasonable extension. This will allow you the time necessary to correct the violation. However, in the absence of an approved extension, will result for the Code Officer to proceed to the next level.

Not all violations are enforced by a Code Officer. Sometimes they are enforced by a Building Official depending on the case.
