§ 202-85. Action on violations of a continuous nature.  


Latest version.
  • If a violation for which a citation is issued is an act of an ongoing, continuous, or repetitive nature, the act must be ceased upon receipt of the citation; and the person charged with the violation, or other person designated in writing by the person charged, may, within three days, submit a written request to the Brevard County code enforcement manager for an appearance before the Brevard County code enforcement board to challenge the validity of the citation, to show that the violation has been corrected, or to establish a time before which the violation must be corrected.

    (1)

    If the person charged, or his designated representative, shows that the citation is invalid or that the violation has been corrected prior to appearing before the board, the board shall dismiss the citation. If the violation is corrected within the time set by the board for correction, the board shall dismiss the citation; but if the violation has not been corrected within that time, the provisions of section 202-86 apply.

    (2)

    If the board determines that the violation is irreparable or irreversible in nature, the board shall impose the applicable civil penalty in the amount prescribed by the board of county commissioners of Brevard County pursuant to section 202-87.

    (3)

    Each day a violation continues constitutes a separate offense under the provisions of this article.
