WHAT HAPPENS IF A BLIGHT VIOLATION NOTICE IS IGNORED?

If a Blight Violation Notice is ignored, a civil citation will be issued for the defendant to appear before the residing Municipal Court Judge. A decision and order of default may also be used to place a lien on your property, garnish your wages, and/or affect your credit. The City usually requests that the maximum fine be imposed in default matters if the violation alleged in the Notice was subject to a range of fines.
