HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe: TIME SENSITIVE - Renton v. Pizzaro, CODE19- 000137 (2)Thank you Ms. Pizarro. I see there was an error in the reply deadline for the City in my email. The City has until August 7, 2019 to submit a reply, not August 2, which was before
Ms. Pizarro's response was due.

Hello,
I believe that I did not receive my Findings of Violations in a timely manner to meet the 15 day deadline. If there is proof of "service" noted in RMC 1-3-2 <https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/html/Renton01/Renton0103.html#1-3-2>
.B.8 that shows the deposit to postal service I would like to know what that date is. I received my Findings Violation through regular mail and i know that it was received after the
finding date which did not give me a full 15 days to respond in a timely manner. Also, under RMC 1-3-2 2av also states:
Any Violator who wants a hearing to challenge the Finding of Violation may have a hearing before the Administrator at Renton City Hall, in a place to be determined, if appropriate,
not less than ten (10) days and not more than thirty (30) days after the serving of the Finding of Violation.
I also would like to note that notification of how many days one has to respond needs to be more specific to business days vs regular days.
I appreciate you being considerate and having me respond before making a decision.
Thank you,
Gwen Pizarro

Subject: TIME SENSITIVE - Renton v. Pizzaro, CODE19- 000137
Ms. Pizzarro:
Attached you will find two appeals you filed with the City of Renton for CODE19- 000137. In the email correspondence below the City has requested that your appeals be dismissed on
the basis that they were filed too late. 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 either of your appeals wthin 15 days of the Notices 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 all parties to this email by 5:00 pm, August 6, 2019. The City may email a response to
all parties to this email by 5:00 pm, August 2, 2019.
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. The Administrator shall
set the date of the hearing within fifteen (15) days of the received request for a hearing. The decision shall be entered and mailed or posted no later than fifteen (15) days after the
City receives the written request for a hearing. There shall be no fee to appeal a Finding of Violation.

All I have is this. I have a call/email into Donna regarding this appeal to see if we can get the full violation – since I can not tell if this is a totally different violation or
if it is the same.

Were you going to do a dismissal order due to timeliness? I wasn’t sure if I could send a letter to them stating they were untimely.
