§ 100.7. REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO CITY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINES; LIENS.
Latest version.
(a) The amount of any fine not paid within the time required under this Chapter, including the amount of any applicable late payment charges, constitutes a debt to the City. The City may file a civil action or pursue any other legal remedy to collect such money. In any civil action to obtain payment of the fine, and any late payment penalties, the City shall be entitled to obtain a judgment for the amount of the unpaid fines and penalty payments and, in addition, for the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the City in bringing any civil action to enforce the provisions of this Section.
(b) Where there is a nexus between the violation and real property located in the City as defined in Section 100.4(c), the charging official may initiate proceedings to make the payment amount due and all additional authorized costs and charges, including attorneys' fees, a lien on the property. Such liens shall be imposed in accordance with San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 10.230—10.237, or any successor provisions. Before initiating lien proceedings, the charging official shall send a request for payment under San Francisco Administrative Code Section 10.230A.
