  shall prepare a written notice of violation, which shall state the following: (1) a description of each condition that constitutes a violation; (2) each rule or statutory provision alleged to have been violated; (3) the date by which the violation must be corrected; (4) sanctions the licensing agency may impose for failure to correct the violation or
  failure to provide proof of correction by the date specified; (5) the right to appeal the notice of violation as provided in section 7118 of this title; and (6) the right to apply for a variance as provided in section 7106 of this title. (b) The licensing agency may take immediate enforcement action when necessary to eliminate
  a condition that can reasonably be expected to cause death or serious physical or

  for it in the notice of violation. (Added 1985, No. 151 (Adj. Sess.) § 8; amended 2019, No. 118 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. June 23, 2020.)
