served; and if not complied with within the time stated, legal
proceedings to be taken.
As you, will see under the heading "Notices Served,"
very few statutory notices were issued. Most of the work
mentioned in the above statement was executed, upon the
owner or occupier receiving either a letter or preliminary
notice, calling attention to the particular defect or breach of
bye-laws, and stating the remedial measures required to be
carried out.
I find most owners of property willing to carry out my
requirements, provided I can convince them they are not
unreasonable. This is borne out by the fact that no legal
proceedings had to be taken during the year, to enforce
compliance with a notice.
