(b)

In the absence of reversal of a special master's ruling by an appellate court of competent jurisdiction, the findings of the special master shall be conclusive as to a determination of responsibility for the ordinance or code violation, and such findings shall be admissible in any proceeding to collect unpaid penalties.
