Upon receiving the notice to repair or demolish the building, the owner of the building, within the time stipulated, may in writing to the Village Clerk request a hearing before the Board of Trustees, sitting as the Board of Appeals, to present reasons why the building should not be repaired or demolished. The Board of Trustees shall grant such hearing within ten days from the date of receiving the request. A written notice of the Board of Trustees' decision following the hearing shall be sent to the property owner by certified mail. If the Board of Trustees rejects the appeal, the owner shall have 60 days from the sending of the decision to begin repair or demolition and removal. If after the 60-day period the owner has not begun work, the Board of Trustees shall proceed to cause such work to be done, provided that the property owner may appeal such decision to the appropriate court for adjudication, during which proceedings the decision of the Board of Trustees shall be stayed. Where the municipality has not adopted a building code, the statutes of Nebraska relating to bonded indebtedness and collection of delinquent taxes shall apply.
