(A) The owner, tenant or person in control of the premises, or agent thereof, ordered to abate the nuisance may request a hearing before the City Council in order to show cause why the premises are not a nuisance. The date of hearing shall not be less than ten days after written notice has been mailed to the appellant.
(B) On the day set in the notice for hearing, the hearing shall be had and on the basis of the hearing, the City Council shall make its decision to the effect that the property is in fact a nuisance or not. The judgment shall further contain an order, as the facts may justify, requiring the owner, tenant or person in control of the premises, or agent thereof, to abate the nuisance within a time designated by the City Council.
(C) If the nuisance is not removed or abated within the time allowed by the City Council then a complaint shall be filed in Municipal Court for the violation of maintaining a nuisance on private property. Any person found guilty of maintaining a nuisance as defined in this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to a fine for each offense as provided above, and the Municipal Court shall order removal and abatement of the nuisance.
