(A) A respondent against whom an order of default is entered may file a motion with the Ordinance Enforcement Department to set aside the order of default and for a new hearing date. A motion to set aside an order of default must be filed within 21 days from the date of mailing or other service.

If the Hearing Officer determines that the respondent's failure to appear at the hearing was for good cause and grants the motion, a hearing will be held immediately on the alleged Code violation set forth in the notice of violation unless the respondent requests another hearing date and presents a showing of good cause for continuing the hearing.
(C) If any default judgment is set aside pursuant to this section, the Hearing Officer shall have authority to enter an order extinguishing any lien which has been recorded for any debt due and owing the Village as a result of the vacated default judgment.
