A. It shall be the responsibility of any person identified as responsible for a code violation to bring the property into code compliance. Payment of civil penalties, applications for permits, acknowledgment of stop work orders, and compliance with other remedies do not substitute for performing the corrective work required and having the property brought into compliance with city ordinances.

B. It shall be unlawful for the owner of any dwelling unit, structure, or property who has been issued an enforcement action to sell, transfer, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of such dwelling unit, structure, or property to another until the provisions of the enforcement action have been complied with, or until such owner has first furnished the grantee, transferee, mortgagee or lessee a true copy of the enforcement action and shall furnish to the code enforcement officer a signed and notarized statement from the grantee, transferee, mortgagee or lessee, acknowledging the receipt of such enforcement action and fully accepting the responsibility without condition for making the corrections or repairs required by the enforcement action.

C. After issuance of an enforcement action and after the person(s) responsible for a violation has come into compliance, the violator shall notify the code enforcement officer in writing and the code enforcement officer may, after an inspection to determine if the violations have been brought into compliance, issue a written determination of compliance. If a written determination of compliance is issued, the code enforcement officer will provide copies of the determination to each person originally named in the enforcement action.
