The notice shall be in writing; include a statement of the reasons for its issuance; allow 30 days time for the performance of any act it requires; be served upon the owner or his or her agent as the case may require; provided: that the notice or order shall be deemed to have been properly served upon the owner or agent when a copy thereof has been sent by registered mail to his or her address as shown on the license currently in force, or when he or she has been served with the notice by any method authorized or required by the laws of this state.
(B) Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter, may request and shall be granted a hearing on the same before the Board of Adjustments and Appeals. There is hereby created in accordance with M.S. § 462.354, Subd. 2, as it may be amended from time to time, a Board of Adjustments and Appeals, and the City Planning Commission is hereby designated and appointed as the Board and it shall have and exercise all of the powers set forth in M.S. 462.357, Subd. 6 and § 462.359, Subd. 4, as it may be amended from time to time, and all other appeals powers pertaining thereto granted under M.S. § 462, as it may be amended from time to time.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the order shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith immediately, but upon petition to the Building inspector shall be afforded a hearing as soon as reasonably possible. The provisions shall be applicable to the hearing and the order issued thereafter.
