(A) When the conduct of any registration holder or his or her agent, representative, employee or lessee, or the condition of his or her rental dwelling or rental unit is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety and general welfare of the community at large, or residents of the rental units so as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard or other unsafe or dangerous condition and, thus, give rise to an emergency, the City Administrator shall have the authority to summarily condemn or close off individual rental units or such areas of the rental dwelling as necessary. Notice of summary condemnation shall be posted at the units or areas affected and shall indicate the units or areas affected. No person shall remove the posted notice, other than the Fire Marshal, City Administrator or their designated representative. Any person aggrieved by the decision or the action of the City Administrator or Fire Marshal set out in this division (A) may appeal the decision following the procedures set out in the city code. The hearing shall be conducted in the same manner as if the aggrieved person had not received summary action; however, the date of the hearing may be expedited with the consent of the registration holder.
(B) The decision of the City Administrator set forth in division (A) above shall not be voided by the filing of such appeal. Only after the hearing by the City Council has been held will the decision or action of the City Administrator be affected.
