(Amended by Ord. No. 185,644, Eff. 7/6/18.)

A. General. Whenever a violation has not been corrected by the time specified for compliance, the General Manager shall hold a hearing within 21 calendar days of the date specified for compliance or any extension compliance date. If the hearing does not occur within the time frame stated in this Section, it does not remove the obligation of the property owner/landlord or other responsible party to comply with any orders or notices, nor does it limit the General Manager’s authority to issue orders at the hearing.

B. Referrals from Other Agencies. The General Manager may hold a hearing under this Division when a violation is referred by the Fire Department, Department of Building and Safety, or the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. The General Manager may issue any orders pursuant to Section 161.805 of this Article, excluding Sections 161.805(1), 161.805(5), or 161.805(6).
