Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Council; provided, that such person shall file in the office of the City Manager a written petition requesting such hearing and setting forth a statement of the grounds therefore within 20 days after the day the notice was served. Within 15 days of receipt of a petition, the Council shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof, and at such hearing the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to show cause why such notice shall be modified or withdrawn. The hearing before the Council shall be commenced not later than 30 days after the date on which the petition was filed; provided that upon written application of the petitioner to the Council so requesting the Council may, if it finds that the petitioner has established good and sufficient cause, postpone the hearing for a reasonable time beyond the said 30 days. Any notice served pursuant to § 151.04 shall automatically become a final order if a written petition for a hearing is not filed as provided by this section.
