A Notice of Violation is NOT a citation. It is a notice of violation with instructions on how to correct the violation within the specified timeframe. The City’s aim is to seek voluntary compliance and will work with you to resolve the issue. The phone number of the officer who issued the Notice of Violation is located at the bottom of the notice and should be contacted with any questions.
