Kennewick Residents Are You Breaking the law?
Here is a list of the most common Code enforcement "Unwanted" List...are you in violation?
Once a complaint is received, a Code Enforcement Officer goes out and validates the complaint. If a violation exists, a Compliance Warning Letter is sent with a 45 day compliance deadline.
If the violation still exists, a formal Notice & Order is issued. The Notice & Order carries a minimum of a $500 fine and compliance is still required. If compliance is not achieved, the case may be forwarded to the City Attorney's office for further legal action.
