The duties of the Board are two-fold: the first is to verify through hearing testimony that the violation exists and to offer a time gram to allow the homeowner to bring the property into compliance; and the second part is to apply a daily penalty if the property has not been brought into compliance. Once a penalty fine has been assessed and is accruing, only the Code Enforcement Board has the authority to negotiate the fine only after the violation has been cured.
