(A) Close and vacate order. Should no appeal be initiated as set out in § 91.07 of this code, and if all of the conditions which have caused premises deemed to be a public nuisance have not be fully abated within 30 calendar days of service of the initial notice that the premises has been deemed public nuisance, a city official shall be authorized to issue an close and vacate order revoking any certificate of occupancy for the premises, thereby deeming the premises unfit for habitation and further ordering discontinuation of utility services to the premises. In such a case, the cost of utility service disconnection/reconnection shall be borne by the owner and/or occupant of the premises and not the city. These actions shall be for such period as the enforcement officer reasonably directs, but in no event shall the action be in effect for a period of more than one year from the original date a close and vacate order goes into effect, unless further nuisance behavior continues.
(B) Rescinding close and vacate orders. A close and vacate order issued by the enforcement officer pursuant to this chapter is not an act of possession, ownership or control by city. A close and vacate order of the enforcement officer should be rescinded within ten business days, or as soon thereafter as practical, after reliable proof is provided to the enforcement officer showing complete abatement of all of the nuisance behavior at the premises has been accomplished, unless such premises is the site of further nuisance behavior.
