Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this Housing Code, or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, may request and shall be granted a hearing before the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals on all matters set forth in such notice; provided that such person shall file in the office of the Housing Inspector a written petition requesting such hearing and setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor within ten calendar days after the day the notice was served. The filing fee for such petition shall be five dollars ($5.00).
Upon the receipt of such petition, the Housing Inspector, acting as executive secretary to the Board, shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. At such hearing the petitioner shall be given opportunity to be heard and to show why such notice should be modified or withdrawn. The hearing shall be commenced not later than thirty days after the day on which the petition was filed; provided, that upon application of the petitioner, the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals may postpone the date of hearing for a reasonable time beyond such thirty day period, if in its judgment the petitioner has submitted a good and sufficient reason for such postponement.
