The following details the appeal process.
(A) Appeal of notice of violation. Any property owner, resident, tenant, occupant or other violator served with a notice of violation or on whose property a notice of violation is posted, shall no later than ten days after the issuance of the notice of violation or posting thereof on the property, may file an appeal in writing to City Hall, attention to the Mayor and the Building and Codes officer of the city requesting a hearing before the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Board to appeal the notice of violation. If the violator fails to appeal the citation within ten days as provided herein, the person shall be deemed to have waived his or her right to a hearing before the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Board and the Code Enforcement Officer's determination that a violation was committed, shall be considered final and enforceable.
(B) Appeal of citation. Upon receipt of a citation, the property owner, resident, tenant, occupant or other violator shall respond to it not later than ten days following the issuance or posting on the property the notice of violation by either paying the fines, charges, costs, penalties and/or fees, including administrative fees assessed therein, or by filing an appeal in writing with the city, in writing, requesting a hearing before the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Board. Payment of assessed fines, charges, administrative fees and penalties shall not relieve the property owner, resident, tenant, occupant or other violator from his or her obligation to bring the property on which the violation occurred into compliance with this code within a reasonable time thereafter, as solely determined by the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Officer.
