Notice of violationWhen you receive a notice of violation, you will have a specific amount of time to correct those violations; between 24 hours and 30 days-depending on the severity.

failure to correct violationUpon the Inspectional services department (ISD) or the Board of Health (BOH) determination that you have failed to address the violation to their standards, they will generally notify you that failure to correct immediately will result in the filing of criminal proceedings against the home owner.

Show cause hearingWhen ISD or the BOH file with the Court, the first hearing is the show cause hearing. This is the landlord's best opportunity to have this case dismissed and avoid severe financial penalties, condemnation of the premises, or a criminal conviction and potential jail time.
