I received a notice of violation on a house that I own, but I rent this property to a tenant. Why don’t you issue the notice to the tenant?
In most cases, the tenant was issued a Notice of Violation, and you, as the property owner would have been notified of the violation by mail. As the property owner, you are legally responsible for any violations of City ordinances. If your tenant does not come into compliance, you could be held responsible.
