Violation Address:
225 Sunset Blvd N
Renton, WA 98057-5517
The undersigned City of Renton Code Compliance Inspector hereby certifies and states that a Warning of Violation has
been provided to the named violator and the violation was not eliminated. The Violator has created, permitted to exist,
maintained or failed to eliminate the following violation(s):
VIOLATION 1: Graffiti
Investigation Date
02/18/2021
Code Text: RMC 4-5-130; IMPC Section 302.9 Defacement of Property. No person shall willfully or wantonly
damage, mutilate or deface any exterior surface of any structure or building on any private or public
property by placing thereon any marking, carving or graffiti.
It shall be the responsibility of the owner to restore said surface to an approved state of
maintenance and repair.
Corrective Action: While we sympathize that you as a business/property owner are a victim of this vandalism, you
have the responsibility to correct the problem by removing or painting over the graffiti as soon as it
appears on your property.
Many cities have discovered that a quick response in removing graffiti often discourages the
vandals from "tagging" the property again. In many instances when the graffiti is removed,
retagging reoccurs. Graffiti removal may be ongoing until the vandals give up, because of your
efforts.
We are requesting that you remove all graffiti from your property.
The City and your neighbors thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

NOTICE OF RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATION
The City has elected to establish a non judicial hearing and determination system to enforce Renton Municipal Codes (RMC) civil code
violations. Therefore a code violation penalty, consistent with RMC 1-3-2.P is imposed, not including any costs, fees or assessments.
You may respond in the following manner:
I deny creating, permitting to exist, maintaining or failing to eliminate the violation(s) and I am requesting a hearing to contest this
Finding of Violation. Appeal requests must be received by the Renton City Clerk's office within 15 days of the date of this Finding of
Violation. Please send me a hearing date. I promise to appear on that date. The administrator must prove by a preponderance of the
evidence that I committed the violation. I understand that under RMC 1-3-2.G that the administrator shall decide whether the
opportunity to be heard will be only in writing or in person, or both. The city is not required to call witnesses to testify at the hearing.
Pursuant to RMC 1-3-2.K, failure to attend the scheduled hearing makes the Finding of Violation final, and I may be subject to
additional costs if I fail to withdraw or resolve my appeal prior to the hearing date. I also understand that the city has not waived any
rights or remedies under the law.
Appeals should be mailed to:
