This letter will state that, if the violation is not brought into <br /> compliance by the specified date, the Police Department will issue an <br /> Administrative Fine in the amount of$100.00. <br /> 2. The property owner will have ten (to) days in which to pay the fine or request a <br /> hearing. <br /> 3.

If after a hearing is <br /> held and the property owner is found in violation,a State citation will be issued. <br /> 4. In the event a party is charged with a subsequent administrative offense, within <br /> twelve months for the same or substantially similar offense, the subsequent <br /> administrative penalty shall be increased by 25%. <br /> 5.
