§ 1.12.150. Effect of failure to pay, respond to a violation or appear for scheduled hearing.

Failure to respond to a violation as provided above or to appear for a scheduled hearing shall be prima facie evidence of the existence of the violation cited and may be used in any subsequent or related proceeding. Failing to appear at the scheduled hearing without good cause shall result in a dismissal of the matter and a waiver of any further right to a hearing or appeal. If the condition which caused the citation continues to exist, the finding of responsibility may also be used by the city as prima facie evidence of the existence of a violation in any proceeding to suspend or revoke any license, permit or certificate issued by the city relative to that building, structure or premises pending the correction of the condition. Additional and monetary penalties will apply in accordance with Section 1.12.190 of this chapter.
