What type of notice is typically issued for a minor violation?

A verbal warning is commonly issued for minor violations as it allows the code enforcement officer to address the issue directly and immediately with the violator. This approach fosters communication and often allows for a quick resolution without escalating the matter. It implies a less formal and less confrontational method, prioritizing education over punitive actions, which is particularly suitable for minor infractions that may simply require a reminder or clarification of the rules.

In the context of code enforcement, minor violations generally do not warrant stricter measures such as a formal complaint, which typically involves more serious infractions, or written warnings and compliance notices, which formalize the enforcement process. The intention of a verbal warning is to resolve minor issues efficiently and encourage compliance before resorting to more formal enforcement actions if necessary.
