* * *
City of Miami Page 1 of 30 Printed On: 11/5/2009
Sec. 2-814. Enforcement procedure.
(a) It shall be the duty of the individuals designated in section 2-813 to initiate enforcement
proceedings of the various code violations. Neither the board, nor any individual member of the
board, nor a special master shall have the power to initiate such enforcement proceedings.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) hereof, if a violation of the code is found, the code
inspector shall notify the violator in writing and give him or her a reasonable time to correct the
violation. Should the violation continue beyond the time specified for correction, the code
inspector shall request a hearing in writing pursuant to the procedure outlined in section 2-815
hereof. If approved by the city attorney, the violation will be scheduled for a hearing and written
notice shall be given to said violator as provided herein. If the violation is corrected and then
recurs or if the violation is not corrected by the time specified for correction by the code
inspector, the case may be presented to the board or special master, even if the violation has
been corrected prior to the hearing, and notice shall so state.
(c) If a violation is found to have been repeated by a violator pursuant to F.S. § 162.04(5), or
who admitted to violating the same provision within five years prior to the violation, the code
inspector shall notify the violator that the violation must be cured immediately. The code
inspector, upon notifying the violator of the repeated violation, shall then notify the code
enforcement board or special master by requesting an immediate hearing. The code
enforcement board or special master, through its clerical staff, shall promptly schedule a hearing
before the board or special master and shall provide notice pursuant to F.S. § 162.12. The case
may then be presented to and sanctioned by the enforcement board or special master even if
the repeated violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and notice shall so state. Upon
finding that the same violation has been repeated by the same violator(s), the board or special
master may order the violator(s) to pay a fine of not more than $500.00 for each day the
repeated violation continues past the date set for compliance, for each time the violation has
been repeated, unless the violation is of article 8.1 ct-titled "Tree Protection" of Ordinance No.
11000 of the zoning ordinance of the city; Article 10 of Ordinance No. 11000 of the Zoning
Ordinance of the City; Chapter 10/Article IV of this Code; Chapter 22.5/Article VI of this Code; or
of article 13 entitled "Mural Rego latiens" Chapter 62/Article XIII of this Code, then the fine will
not exceed $5,000.00 per day per violation.
(d) If the code inspector has reason to believe that a violation presents a serious threat to the
public health, safety and welfare or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible in nature, the
code inspector shall make a reasonable effort to notify the violator and may immediately notify
the board or special master and request a hearing. The code inspector, with the approval of the
city attorney, may proceed directly with the procedure outlined in section 2-815 without following
the procedures of subsection (b), above.
Sec. 2-817. Administrative costs, fines; liens.
(a) The board or special master, upon notification by the code inspector that an order has been
complied with within the time specified in the order, shall accept such notification as
acknowledgment of compliance and no fines shall be imposed.
(b) The board or special master, upon notification by the code inspector or city attorney that an
order of the board or special master has not been complied with by the set time for compliance,
may order the violator(s) to pay a fine of not more than $250.00 per day per violation that
continues past the date set for compliance by the notice of violation, unless the violation is of
article 8.1 entitled "Trcc Protection" of Ordinance No. 11000, the Zoning Ordinance of the City
of Miami; Article 10 of Ordinance No. 11000 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City; Chapter
City of Miami Page 2 of 30 Printed On: 11/5/2009
10/Article IV of this Code; Chapter 22.5/Article VI of this Code; or ofartisle13 entitled "Mural
Regulations" Chapter 62/Article XIII of this Code, then the fine will not exceed $1,000.00 per
day per violation, and not more than $5,000.00 per day per violation for a repeat violation.
entitled "Mural Regulations" of this Code
(c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the board or special master shall consider the
following factors:
(1) The gravity of the violation.
(2) Any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation; and
(3) Any previous violations committed by the violator.
(d) An enforcement board or special master may reduce a fine once a violator has complied
with the order, and for good cause shown. The board or special master however, hereby
authorizes the city to mitigate fines with violators, provided that the total amount of the daily fine
imposed by the enforcement board or special master may only be reduced to the percentage
stated in the schedule below:
Sec. 2-823. Civil infraction enforcement procedures.
(a) Code inspectors shall have the authority to initiate enforcement proceedings as listed
below. No special master shall have the power to initiate such proceedings.
(b) Prior to issuing a citation, a code inspector who after personal investigation, finds a
violation of the sections of this Code as amended and/or other ordinances adopted by this Code
as amended, from time to time, shall provide written notice of violation to the person that the
person has committed a violation of a code or ordinance and shall establish a reasonable time
period within which the person must correct the violation. Such time period shall be no more
than 30 days. If the inspector has reason to believe that the violation presents a serious threat
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible, the code
inspector does not have to provide the person with a reasonable time period to correct the
violation.
(c) If, upon personal investigation an inspector finds that the person has not corrected the
violation within the time period, the inspector shall issue a civil infraction notice to the violator.
Service shall be effected by delivering the civil infraction notice to the violator, or his/her agents,
or by leaving the civil infraction notice at the violator's usual place of abode with any person
residing therein who is 15 years of age or older and informing that person of its contents, or the
civil violation notice may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. In addition to
providing notice as set forth above, at the option of the inspector, notice may be served by
posting. Such notice shall be posted for at least ten days in at least two locations, one of which
shall be the property upon which the violation is alleged to exist and the other of which shall be
City Hall. Proof of posting shall be verified by affidavit of the agent who posted the notice.
Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice together with proof of
posting shall be sufficient that notice requirements have been met.
(d) The civil infraction notice shall include but not be limited to the following:
(1) Date and time of issuance.
(2) Name of code inspector and division or department issuing the notice.
(3) Name and address of the violator.
(4) Section number of the code section or city ordinance that has been violated.
(5) Brief description of the nature of the violation, including location, date, and time of violation.

(7) The applicable civil penalty if the person elects not to contest the violation.
(8) Instructions and due date for paying the civil fine or filing for an administrative hearing
before a special master to appeal the civil fine.
(9) Notice that failure to request an administrative hearing within ten (10) days after service of
the civil infraction notice shall constitute a waiver of the violator's right to an administrative
hearing before the special master, and that such waiver shall constitute an admission of
violation and that a penalty may be entered against the violator for an amount up to maximum
civil penalty.
(10) Notice that the violator may be liable for the reasonable costs of the administrative hearing
should he/she be found guilty of the violation.
Sec. 2-825. Rights of violators; payment of fine; right to appeal; failure to pay and
correct.
(a) A violator who has been served with a civil infraction notice shall elect either to:
(1) Pay the civil penalty in the manner indicated on the infraction notice, and correct the
violation; or
(2) Request an administrative hearing before a special master to appeal the determination of
the inspector which resulted in the issuance of the civil infraction notice.
(b) An appeal for administrative hearing shall be accomplished by filing a request in writing to
set the hearing for review and mailing said request to the code enforcement clerk or his/her
designee or to the address indicated on the notice, not later than ten (10) days after the service
of the civil infraction.
(c) If the named violator, after notice, fails to pay the civil penalty and correct the violation
(within the time specified), or fails to timely request an administrative hearing before a special
master, such failure shall constitute a waiver of the violator's right to an administrative hearing
before a special master. A waiver of the right to administrative hearing shall be treated as an
admission of the violation and penalties may be assessed accordingly.
(d) Failure to correct the violation or file for an appeal within ten days after notice of the civil
infraction has been provided will result in the case being forwarded to the code enforcement
board or appropriate special master for further action.
*
Sec. 2-828. Appeals of orders of hearing officers.
(a) The violator or the city may appeal an order of a special master by filing a petition for
appeal with the Dade County Court. Such appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the issuance of
the order by the special master. A violator shall have the right to a de novo appeal provided that
all other administrative remedies have been exhausted.
(b) In the absence of reversal of a special master's ruling by an appellate court of competent
jurisdiction, the findings of the special master shall be conclusive as to a determination of
responsibility for the city ordinance or city Code violation, and such findings shall be admissible
in any proceeding not to collect unpaid penalties. If the violation is not corrected within ten (10)
City of Miami Page 4 of 30 Printed On: 11/5/2009
days of the final order of the Dade County Court, the case will be forwarded to the code
enforcement board or appropriate special master.
(c) Nothing contained in this article shall prohibit the city from enforcing its city ordinance or
city Code by any other means. The enforcement procedures outlined herein are cumulative to
all others and shall not be deemed to be prerequisites to filing suit for the enforcement of any
section of this Code.

within the of city ordinances of and the city Code and other relevant codes and statutes, as they
