(A) Any person ordered to abate a nuisance may have a hearing with the Ordinance Enforcer, in order to determine whether a nuisance does exist. A request for a hearing must be made in writing and delivered to the Ordinance Enforcer ordering the abatement within the time stated in the notice, or it will be conclusively presumed that a nuisance exists that must be abated as ordered.
(B) At the conclusion of the hearing, the Ordinance Enforcer shall render a written decision as to whether a nuisance exists. If he or she finds that a nuisance exists, he or she must order it abated within an additional time of no longer than ten days. An appeal from this decision may be had by immediately filing a written notice within two days with the Ordinance Enforcer. This appeal will be heard before the Board of Public Works and Safety within a reasonable time thereafter at a time and place fixed by the Board of Public Works and Safety. The findings of the Board of Public Works and Safety shall be conclusive and, if a nuisance is found to exist, it shall be ordered abated within a time reasonable under the circumstances.
