The minimum time period for the service of such orders shall be measured from the effective date of Chapter 15.07. Upon receipt of a written request from the owner, the Building Official shall order a building to comply prior to the normal service date for such building set forth in this section.
.020 Contents of Order. The order shall be in writing and shall be served either personally or by certified or registered mail upon the owner as shown on the last equalized assessment, and upon the person, if any, in apparent charge or control of the building. The order shall specify that the building has been determined by the Building Official to be within the scope of this chapter and, therefore, is required to meet the minimum seismic standards of this chapter. The order shall specify the rating classification of the building and shall be accompanied by a copy of Section 15.07.050 which sets forth the owner's alternatives and time limits for compliance.
.030 Appeal From Order. The owner or person in charge or control of the building may appeal to the City Council the Building Official's initial determination that the building is within the scope of this chapter. Such appeal shall be filed with the City Clerk within sixty days from the service date of the order described in subsection .020 of this section. Any such appeal shall be decided by the City Council no later than sixty days after the date that the appeal is filed. Such appeal shall be made in writing upon appropriate forms provided therefor by the Building Official, and the grounds thereof shall be stated clearly and concisely.
Appeals or requests for slight modifications from any other determinations, orders or actions by the Building Official pursuant to this chapter, shall be made in accordance with the normal appeal procedures established in this Code.
.040 Recordation. At the time that the aforementioned order is served, the Building Official shall file with the office of the County Recorder for the County of Orange a certificate stating that the subject building is within the scope of Chapter 15.07 of this Code. The certificate shall also state that the owner thereof has been ordered to structurally analyze the building and to structurally alter or demolish it where it is not found to comply with Chapter 15.07.
If the building is found not to be within the scope of this chapter, or as a result of structural alterations or an analysis is found to be structurally capable of resisting minimum seismic forces required by this chapter; or is demolished; the Building Official shall file with the office of the County Recorder for the County of Orange a certificate terminating the status of the subject building as being classified within the scope of Chapter 15.07 of this Code.
.050 Enforcement. If the owner or other person in charge or control of the subject building fails to comply with any order issued by the Building Official pursuant to this chapter within any of the time limits set forth in Section 15.07.050, the Building Official shall order that the entire building be vacated and remain vacated until such order has been complied with. If compliance with such order has not been accomplished within ninety days after the date the building has been ordered vacated, or by such additional time as may have been granted by the Building Official, the Building Official may order demolition of the building in accordance with the Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings as adopted by the City of Anaheim in Chapter 15.06 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
