A. If, upon the inspection of a kennel or cattery, the kennel or cattery does not meet the requirements of this title, the chief animal care and regulation officer may issue a written administrative order to the kennel or cattery owner setting forth the conditions the kennel or cattery owner shall meet in order to be in conformance with this title.

B. The kennel or cattery owner shall be granted a reasonable length of time of no more than 30 calendar days within which to remedy any deficiencies found.

C. If, upon a second inspection after the time granted in the written administrative order, the kennel or cattery is still in violation of any provision of this title, the chief animal care and regulation officer may revoke any registration certificate.

D. Each day a kennel or cattery owner operates the kennel or cattery without a registration certificate constitutes a separate violation for operating a kennel or cattery without registration.

E. Violation of the written administrative order under this provision is an infraction.

F. Notwithstanding subsections (B) and (C) of this section, the chief animal care and regulation officer may immediately order the closing of a kennel or cattery and the impoundment of all animals if conditions of the kennel or cattery pose an imminent risk to the health and safety of the animals or to the public. The owner of the kennel or cattery may appeal the closure to the animal care and regulations board pursuant to WMC 7.08.020. (Ord. 09-69(AM) § 6, 2009; prior code § 12.10.110)
