(A) Scheduling of hearing. If the city makes a determination that it will be denying, suspending, revoking, or not renewing a license pursuant to §§ 112.08 or 112.09, or if the owner is appealing the compliance order pursuant to § 112.09, the City Council shall conduct a hearing on the matter. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular Council meeting following the date of the notice or receipt of the owner’s notice of appeal of a compliance order.
(B) Hearing. At the hearing, the City Council shall hear all relevant evidence and arguments and shall review all testimony, documents, and other evidence submitted. The owner shall have the opportunity to address the Council at the hearing.
(C) Findings. After the hearing is concluded, the City Council shall make its decision on whether to uphold the compliance order or to revoke, suspend, deny, or not renew the license or impose an administrative fine.
(D) No occupancy. If a license is revoked, suspended, denied, or not renewed by the City Council, it shall be unlawful for the owner to thereafter permit the occupancy of the rental dwelling or the unit. A notice of the action shall be posted by the Building Official on the rental dwelling or the unit in order to prevent any further occupancy. No person shall reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied that rental dwelling or unit until a license is obtained or reinstated by the owner.
(E) Appeal. An owner may appeal the decision of the City Council as allowed under state law.
