(B) The violation report form shall be forwarded to the village of Manteno building code hearing unit where a docket number shall be stamped on all copies of the report and a hearing date shall be noted in the blank spaces provided for that purpose on the form. The hearing date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than forty (40) days after the violation is reported.
(C) One copy of the violation report shall be maintained in the files of the village of Manteno building code hearing unit and shall become a part of the record.
