Ms. Moya, Please mail a copy of this email chain to Mr. Wnek along with documentation from the City of the date of mailing of the NOV under appeal: Mr. Wnek: Enclosed with this email you will find documentation from the City on when it mailed you with the Notice of Violation that you have appealed, CODE21- 000313 . In the email correspondence below the City has requested that your appeals be dismissed on the basis that you were too late in filing your appeal. Renton Municipal Code Section 1-3-2E2b, which is quoted below, requires that you "shall submit a written request for a hearing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Finding of Violation." The City contends you did not file your appeal within 15 days of the Notice of Violation as required by Section 1-3-2E2b. Before I make any ruling on the City's request to dismiss your appeal, you are entitled to an opportunity to respond to the City's request to explain why your appeals should not be dismissed. If you do not agree with the City's position, please provide a written response to the Renton City Clerk's Office by September 10, 2021 -- your letter must be postmarked by that date. The City must mail you a response and email its response to the parties of this email by 5:00 pm, September 17, 2019 -- the City's response must also be postmarked by that date. At this point in the appeal process the only issue under consideration is the timeliness of your appeal. I will not be considering the merits of your appeal. If I deny the City's request to dismiss your appeal, the City Clerk will schedule an appeal hearing where you will have a full opportunity to address the merits of your appeal. Renton Municipal Code Section 1-3-2E2b. Timing of a Hearing: If a Violator and/or persons having any claim against the title or contractual interest in the property where the violation exists wishes to challenge a Finding of Violation, or to challenge or mitigate the costs and/or fines, that Violator and/or persons having any claim against the title or contractual interest in the property where the violation exists shall submit a written request for a hearing within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Finding of Violation.
