(a) Upon being served notice, the owner may make immediate application in writing or in person to the Building Commissioner for a special building permit to undertake the repairs or replacement of items found to constitute a public nuisance.
(b) Adequate plans and specifications as required by the Building Commissioner, covering the repairs or replacements shall be furnished by the owner to the Building Commissioner within fifteen days after receipt of notice or such additional time as the Building Commissioner may deem necessary to complete plans and specifications not to exceed ninety days. The Building Commissioner shall upon approval of the plans and specifications cause a special building permit to be issued to the owner. The special building permit to be issued by the Building Commissioner shall be for a period of thirty days and within the thirty days the owner shall effect and complete the repairs or replacements, or the Building Commissioner may grant an extension to the special building permit if the owner shows reason or cause for the request extension and which extension shall more readily effect the repairs or replacement with respect to the existence of a public nuisance, and stating that unless the owner thereof shall cause the abatement of a public nuisance by rehabilitation or by removal of the building or structure the same shall be abated by the City at the expense of the owner. Such abatement shall start within fifteen days after service of the notice and shall be complete within forty-five days or such additional time as the Building Commissioner may deem necessary to complete the abatement.
