(a) Any person affected by any notice or order which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provisions of this chapter may request and shall have granted a hearing on the matter before the Building Appeals Board, provided that such person shall file with the Clerk of the Village a written petition requesting such hearing, setting forth the name, address and phone number of the petitioner and a brief statement of the grounds for such hearing or for the mitigation of any order of the Fire Chief. The petition shall be filed within ten days after the notice and order is served. Upon receipt of such petition, the chairperson of the Building Appeals Board shall set a time and place far hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. The hearing shall be commenced within a reasonable time after the petition has been filed. At such hearing the petitioner shall be given the opportunity to be heard, and show cause why such notice and order should be modified or withdrawn. The failure of the petitioner or his representative to appear and state his case at such hearing shall have the same effect as if no petition were filed. The Fire Chief shall appear before the Building Appeals Board and first present to the Board any and all notices, orders and other material facts regarding violation of any sections of this chapter from which the petitioner is appealing.
(b) After a hearing, the Building Appeals Board shall sustain, modify or withdraw the notice and order by majority vote, depending upon its finding as to whether the provisions of the chapter have been complied with. The petitioner, the Fire Chief and Counsel for the Village shall be notified in writing of such findings.
(c) The proceedings at such hearing, including the findings and decision of the Building Appeals Board and reasons therefor, shall be summarized and reduced to writing and entered as a matter of public record in the Clerk’s office. Such record shall also include a copy of every notice and order issued in connection with the matter. The Building Appeals Board shall also provide a complete stenographic transcript of all proceedings on each and every case brought before it. (Ord. 1666. Passed 5-21-84.)
