If a particular establishment is found to be in violation of the regulations governing grease abatement, a notice of violation (NOV) will be issued to the proprietor of the property. A written finding must be prepared by the investigator within 60 days from receipt of request for investigation, and placed in the job file prior to issuance of a NOV. The NOV will typically be in the form of a letter which shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested. The notice of violation shall include, at a minimum, the specific provision(s) of the regulations violated, the required corrective action, the time frames within which such action must be completed, and the penalty for failure to comply with the NOV. In such cases where the proprietor is not the owner of the property, an NOV will be issued simultaneously to the owner and the proprietor. The NOV issued to the property owner shall reference the NOV issued to the proprietor, and vice versa, and clearly indicate that the property owner is responsible for all violations of WSSC Chapter 14.25 on private property whether or not the violation is caused by the owner or the proprietor. If the proprietor/owner is a repeat violator under the FOG Program, then the violation should also indicate that the property owner is responsible for all expenses incurred by the Commission for the maintenance and investigation activities associated with the current violation.
