§ 15.60.050. City's informational notices.

A.

The city's Building Official or other authorized official along with issuance of any notice to vacate, notice to abate life-threatening condition, or declaration of substandard to a property owner covering a rental unit or room shall inform the property owner that any tenant household who vacates said rental unit or room may be eligible for relocation payments from the property owner, that failure to make required payments to eligible tenant households before vacation may result in the city making payments on behalf of the owner, and that failure to reimburse the city for all payments made and other costs incurred shall result in a lien being placed on the property. Following issuance of any such notice or declaration and expiration of the period to abate the noncomplying condition (if an abatement period is specified in any such notice or declaration), the city shall also use reasonable efforts to deliver information to each affected tenant household in the building regarding the relocation benefits and assistance, if any, to which the tenant household may be entitled.

B.

Failure by the city to supply or attempt to supply any of the information or notices provided for in this Chapter shall not affect the validity of any code enforcement notice, order, or action, nor shall any such failure diminish any property owner's obligation to abate any noncomplying conditions or provide relocation assistance as required under this Chapter.
