(A) A person may appeal a notice of violation issued pursuant to this subchapter or a bill issued pursuant to this subchapter by submitting a request, in writing, to the Clerk-Treasurer. The request must be received by the Clerk-Treasurer within the amount of time set out in the notice of violation or within 15 days of the date the bill was issued. A hearing before the Town Council to dispute the existence of a violation or dispute the accuracy of a bill issued will be scheduled.
(B) At the hearing before the Town Council, the person receiving a notice of violation will be given the opportunity to appear, with or without counsel, to present such evidence to the Town Council. Each person appearing shall have the opportunity to cross-examine those persons establishing the violation for the town, and testify on their own behalf.
(C) At the hearing the Town Council shall enter a finding determining whether the party notified is the owner of the real estate; and whether the condition of the real estate is in violation of this subchapter or whether the bill issued is accurate. The Town Council may affirm or modify the notice of violation consistent with the Town Council's findings. All findings by the Town Council shall be deemed conclusive.
