In reviewing the findings of the Administrator with respect to the existence of the public nuisance, the required abatement, and the time to complete the abatement, the Board of Building Appeals shall consider the nature of the violation alleged and its effect upon the public health, safety and welfare including, but not limited to, the depreciating effect of a violation upon the value of surrounding properties and the reasonableness of the time given to abate the nuisance. The Board may affirm, modify, or cancel the order of the Administrator.
(c) The Board of Building Appeals shall consider the nature of the public nuisance, the threat it poses to public health, safety and welfare, including any depreciating effect it has on the value of surrounding properties, in the reasonableness of the time allowed for its abatement. The Board of Building Appeals may affirm, modify or cancel the orders of the Municipality.
(d) Any owner, occupant or lienholder who is effected by any decision of the Building Board of Appeals shall have the right to appeal the decision by filing an action in the Williams County Court of Common Pleas within 15 days after the decision of the Board of Building Appeals is served by regular U.S. Mail on the person so effected.
