Lansing, MI Code Violation Reporting: Response Times (2026)

Section 655.06(b) sets the timing rules for the City's nuisance-abatement notices. The Enforcement Official's written notice must describe the nuisance and the corrective action required, and specify a compliance deadline that is reasonable but capped at fifteen days from service. If the owner or responsible party doesn't act within that window, Section 655.06(c) lets the Enforcement Official refer the case to Council, which must hold a hearing within ten days of the referral before ordering abatement. Property-specific timelines, like the seven-day grass and weed window in Section 1460.01, can be shorter but never exceed this fifteen-day outer limit.
