When an occupant is notified of the existence of a violation, the occupant should be:

• A. Verbally notified when to expect a follow-up inspection
• B. Allowed a minimum of 2 weeks before a re-inspection occurs
• C. Notified in writing when a follow-up inspection will be made
• D. Informed of the cost of fines relating to the violation

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that when a violation is found, the occupant must receive formal written notice about what’s wrong and when a follow-up inspection will occur. A written notice creates a verifiable record, clearly communicates the予定 schedule, and helps the occupant prepare and correct the issue. It also protects both sides by reducing misunderstandings and disputes over whether the notice was given or when the re-inspection will happen. Verbal notice can be forgotten or challenged, and timing constraints like a fixed two-week wait aren’t universal requirements. Fines are a separate matter from how the follow-up inspection is scheduled. Therefore, notifying in writing when the follow-up inspection will be made is the proper approach.
