The text

At the end of ten days, the chief inspector shall reinspect the nonresidential structure dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit described in the notice. If upon reinspection the violations alleged are determined by the chief inspector not to have been corrected, he shall issue a second notice of violation on which shall constitute an order requiring that the then existing failures to meet the requirements of any provision of this article or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, shall be corrected within ten days after the date of the reinspection, if the person served with the second notice does not petition for a hearing on the matter in the manner hereinafter provided. The second notice of violation shall inform the person to whom it is directed of his rights to apply for a hearing before the chief inspector and the procedure by which application for such hearing shall fulfill the requirements for service of the notice of violation. The chief inspector shall cause a copy of the second notice to be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the nonresidential structure, dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit where the violations are alleged to exist, and shall serve it in the manner provided in this section. The chief inspector, after the expiration of time granted the person served with the second notice to seek a hearing in the manner hereinafter provided by this chapter or by a court of competent jurisdiction to which an appeal has been taken, shall cause the second notice to be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds. The notice shall state that a cumulative civil penalty as provided by state law has been imposed. Except as otherwise provided in this section, no notice and lien recorded under this chapter shall be released until the violation has been abated and the penalty imposed, as provided for in this section has been paid.
