Second written notice for a continuing or repeated violation, escalating the cure deadline and introducing a fine.
When a violation continues after the first notice or the same violation recurs, the second notice escalates the enforcement process. This notice references the first notice, documents that the violation was not corrected, introduces a monetary fine, and advises the homeowner of their right to a hearing before the fine becomes final. This template is designed to withstand legal scrutiny and demonstrates the board's consistent, fair enforcement process.
Send this notice after the cure period in the first notice has expired and the violation has not been corrected, or when the same violation recurs within 12 months. Allow the same delivery time as the first notice and retain proof of delivery.
