Upon receiving the notice to repair or demolish the building, the owner, and occupant thereof, if any, of the building, within the time stipulated, may in writing to the City Clerk appeal said notice and request a hearing. A hearing on the appeal shall be held within 14 days after the filing of the appeal and shall be conducted by a hearing officer appointed by the governing body. Said person shall sit as a hearing officer and shall render a decision on the appeal within five business days after the conclusion of the hearing and the decision shall be sent to the property owner by certified mail or personal service. If an appeal is not filed and compliance has not been met within 60 days as indicated in the notice, or, in the case a hearing was requested, if the hearing officer rejects the appeal, the owner shall have 60 days from the sending of the decision, or personal service of the decision, to complete the demolition and removal. If after the 60-day period the owner has not completed the work, the governing body shall proceed to cause such work to be done; provided, the property owner may appeal such decision to the appropriate court for adjudication during which proceedings the decision of the governing body shall be stayed. Where the city has not adopted a building code, the statutes of the state relating to bonded indebtedness and collection of delinquent taxes shall apply.
