Freeburg — Ch. 29 Property Maintenance Policy § 29-1-27
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Operative Text
(A) Whenever the Administrator determines there has been a violation of this Code or has reasonable grounds to believe that a violation has occurred or whenever the Administrator has condemned a structure or equipment under the provisions of this Code, notice shall be given to the owner or the person or persons responsible in the manner as prescribed below. (B) If the Administrator has condemned the property or part thereof, he or she shall give notice to the owner and the occupants of his or her intent to post the property, to order equipment out of service and that the occupants vacate the premises. (C) The notice shall: (1) Be in writing; (2) Include a description of the real estate sufficient for identification; (3) Include a statement of the reason or reasons why it is being posted; and (4) Include a correction order allowing a reasonable time for the repairs and improvements required to bring the structure into compliance with the provisions of this Code and other applicable codes and ordinances.
Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-27, when the Administrator finds or reasonably suspects a code violation, or condemns a structure or piece of equipment, a formal written notice must be issued to the owner or responsible party. If property is condemned, occupants must also be notified of the intent to post the property, take equipment out of service, and require vacation of the premises. Every notice must identify the property, explain the reason for the action, and include a correction order giving a reasonable timeframe to bring the property into compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-27 should be aware that a written notice of violation from the Administrator will identify the property, state the specific reasons for the violation, and set a correction deadline. Compliant operators typically track any notices received, respond promptly within the timeframe specified in the correction order, and document all repairs made to demonstrate compliance. When a condemnation is involved, the Administrator is also required to notify occupants, so owners should be prepared to coordinate with tenants regarding any required vacating of the premises.

The notice must explain the reasons for the action and include a correction order with a reasonable repair timeline.
