How Do I Enforce the Law?

For a case, let's look at a malfunctioning sewage system example.

In order to be efficient, you need to learn all the facts and not repeat steps someone has already completed

Determine what has occurred and where to go from there

The LHO asks the LPI for more information about the situation.

The LPI had received a complaint 10 days before and visited the property to investigate.
The LPI prepared an order he served on the owner in person (as provided for in the “malfunctioning sewage system statute”)
This order was signed by the City Manager and contained the fact that the sewage system was malfunctioning and the owner had 10 days to remedy the malfunction.
Immediately after the service was made, the LPI prepared a sworn statement indicating he had made the service. The statement was witnessed and signed by the City Clerk.
