Ann Arbor — Ch. 105 Housing Code § 8:513

(1) Form of notice. Whenever the Building Official determines that there has been a violation of any provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such alleged violation and orders for correction of violation to the person or persons responsible therefor, as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall:
(a) Be in writing;
(b) Include a statement of the conditions that constitute violations of this chapter and what must be done to correct same;
(c) State the date of the inspection, the name of the inspector, and the address of the dwelling;
(d) Specify a time limit for the performance of any act it requires. Said time limit shall be a reasonable time, not to exceed 60 calendar days unless:
(i) The work is major exterior work including but not limited to work such as painting, gutters, foundations, or roof work, weather dependent, and therefore, could not reasonably be completed within 60 calendar days based on the period of the year in which the inspection is done. In such cases, the time limit for the weather dependent work shall be 60 calendar days after a date when favorable weather conditions could be expected. All said time limits shall commence from the date of the inspection report;
(ii) The owner or agent intends to make substantial renovations which must be directly linked to the correction of the violation(s), and he/she applies for permits, submits required plans, and a schedule of proposed renovations as per section 8:518 .
(e) Notify the owner or agent, the occupant, or the complainant as the case may require, of the right to appeal;
(f) Be served within 10 working days upon the owner or his agent, or the occupant, as the case may require, provided that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner or agent or upon such occupant if a copy thereof is served upon him personally, or if a copy thereof is sent by certified mail to his last known address, or if he is served with such notice by any other method authorized or required under this Code or the laws of this state;
(g) A duplicate shall be sent to the occupant in cases where the owner or his agent are the appropriate parties to be served, and be sent to the owner or his agent in cases where the occupant is the appropriate party to be served. If the violation or violations concern a common area rather than an individual dwelling unit or rooming unit, the notice shall be sent to all occupants of the dwelling, or may also be posted in a conspicuous location in said dwelling if, in the judgment of the Building Official, such posting is necessary to provide adequate notice. If the violation is a major one, posting shall be mandatory, whether the violation concerns a common area or an individual dwelling unit or rooming unit. No person shall remove a posted notice without authorization of the Building Official. Notice to occupants by mail or posting shall be given within 10 working days after the date of inspection;
(h) Include a statement that any full certificate of compliance has been suspended and that rent may be paid into the escrow fund maintained by the Building Department if the repair of conditions is not made within the time limit set in the notice of violation or lawful extensions thereto, and a statement that civil actions for compelling the repairs and for damages may be available.
(2) Appeal when no violation found. If the inspection is based upon a complaint and it is determined upon inspection that no violation exists, the complainant may appeal said determination to the Housing Board of Appeals, and the complainant shall be notified of this right to appeal.
(3) Failure to complete work within the time limits specified in subsection 8:513 (1)(d) shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter.
