(a) The procedure provided in this chapter for abatement of nuisances shall apply to all nuisances arising under the laws of the City, except as provided in Section 503.14. This procedure for abatement is not intended to be used when land is being developed or structures being renovated or improved under a valid municipal building permit, subject to the following:
(1) The alleged nuisance is not an immediate threat of physical harm to person or property as determined jointly between the City Manager and the inspector, inspector in this section meaning those persons collectively referred to as “inspector” in Section 503.08, and,
(2) So long as the duration of the nuisance does not exceed 180 days from the date of issuance of the municipal building permit, unless a one time extension up to 180 days is granted by the inspector upon the showing by the building permit holder of substantial progress being made related to the issuance of the building permit.
(b) The mere obtaining of a municipal building permit after an alleged nuisance comes to the attention of the inspector shall not bar the City from proceeding under this abatement procedure.
(c) This abatement procedure may also apply to nuisance conditions associated with facilities licensed under Chapters 3734, 4737 and 6111 of the Ohio Revised Code only to the extent permitted by law.
(d) The authority to grant extensions as provided for in provision (a) of this section by the inspector is hereby authorized.
