Violators of maintaining public appearance in Abu Dhabi will now be able to settle their fines by paying 75 per cent of the amount, on the condition that the violation is corrected.
A new resolution will allow municipal inspectors to detect violations of preservation of public appearance, notify offenders, and offer them the opportunity to settle.
However if the violator has not complied, the municipality will rectify the violation at the violator's expense. Violators have the right to appeal within a week of the violation issuance.
