Whenever the Housing Inspector finds that an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the health, safety or welfare of residents or of the public, he or she shall proceed forthwith to issue an order reciting the existence of the emergency and order such remedial action as is necessary to meet the emergency. If necessary, to protect the health or safety of residents or of the public, the Housing Inspector shall order that the premises on which such emergency exists, be vacated forthwith and that such premises not be reoccupied until the order is complied with or executed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Housing Code, any such order shall be effective immediately and complied with in the time and manner prescribed in such order.
