I have a concern regarding code enforcement entering our property without approval and not notifying us of finds that could be imposed to go back a year. In short the code enforcement officer said that we can be fined $* a day for violations that go back nearly a year. My question is wouldn't they have to notify as sooner if it's such a huge fine
