If I receive an ordinance violation letter from the city and just ignore it will my problems go away?

Probably not. We always recommend making a phone call to the inspector that sent you the letter. The inspectors are more inclined to work with you in granting additional time and alternative resources when you make an acknowledgement of the problem and your desire to correct it. Ignoring the notice and subsequent correspondence will only result in the issuance of a municipal court summons.
