If the responsible person fails to attend the scheduled hearing, the hearing will proceed without the responsible person, and he or she will be deemed to have waived his or her right to an administrative hearing. Notwithstanding this waiver and the time limits set forth in Section 1.12.100, if service of the administrative citation is made by posting the citation on real property within the city in which the responsible person has a legal interest, and the responsible person provides verifiable and substantial evidence that removal of the administrative citation from the property by a third party caused the responsible person’s failure to attend the scheduled hearing, the responsible person shall be entitled to an administrative hearing.
