(A) Upon the finding that the village code has been violated, the Fire Chief shall notify, or cause to be notified, the owner, occupant, or manager of the premises where a violation has occurred. Notice may be made personally or by delivering a copy to the premise and affixing it to the door of the main entrance of the premises. Whenever it may be necessary to serve such an order upon the owner, the order may be served personally, or by mailing a copy to the owner’s last known post office address if the owner is absent from the jurisdiction.
(B) Any such order shall be immediately complied with by the owner, occupant, or manager of the premises or building. The owner, occupant, or manager may, within five days after such an order by the Fire Chief or his or her agent, appeal the order with the Board of Trustees requesting a review and it shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees to hear the same within not less than five days nor more than ten days from the time when the request was filed in writing with the Village Clerk. The Board of Trustees shall then affirm, modify, or rescind the order as safety and justice may require and the decision shall then be final, subject only to any remedy which the aggrieved person may have at law or equity. The order shall be modified or rescinded only where it is evident that reasonable safety exists and that conditions necessitate a variance due to the probable hardship in complying literally with the order of the Fire Chief. A copy of any decision so made shall be sent to both the Fire Chief and the owner, occupant, or manager making the appeal.
