§ 152.070  AUTHORITY TO CONDEMN OR CLOSE OFF RENTALS.
   (A)   When the conduct of any registration holder or their agent, representative, employee, or lessee is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety, and general welfare of the community at large or residents of the rental units so as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard, or other unsafe or dangerous condition and, thus, give rise to an emergency, the Police Chief, City Administrator, or such other person designated by the City Administrator shall have the authority to summarily condemn or close off individual rental units or such areas of the rental dwelling as necessary in accordance with the procedures set forth in this chapter. Any person aggrieved by such decision or action may appeal the decision following the procedures set out herein.
   (B)   The decision of the Police Chief, City Administrator, or such other person designated by the City Administrator, as set forth herein, shall not be voided by the filing of such appeal. Only after the hearing by the Board of Adjustment has been held will such decision or action be affected.
