What Happen If A Blight Violation Notice is Ignore

WHAT HAPPENS IF A BLIGHT VIOLATION NOTICE IS IGNORED?
If you do not appear at your hearing or ignore a Blight Violation Notice, a hearing officer will enter a decision and order of default against you, based upon the violations alleged in the Notice.  A decision and order of default can 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.
