(a) The Board of Building Appeals shall be and act as the Appeal Board for any appeals from the determination of the Board of Nuisance Abatement, and, using this chapter as a basis, shall have the power to confirm, reverse or modify any order of the Board of Nuisance Abatement appealed to it. The Board of Building Appeals may in a proper case for good cause shown, grant an extension of time for repairs to be made not to exceed six months.
(b) The owner may, within ten days after service of the order of the finding of the Board of Nuisance Abatement, as provided for in Section 1335.02(f), that the subject property does not constitute a public nuisance, make a demand in writing to the Board of Building Appeals for an appeal on the question of whether in fact a public nuisance, as defined in Section 1335.01(a), does exist.
(c) The owner of the property in question or his duly authorized representative or agent, shall be notified of the date, time and place of the appeal hearing in accordance with the provisions of Section 1335.03, and shall be given an opportunity of appearing in person, or through a duly authorized representative or agent, at such hearing and of presenting such evidence as may be pertinent to the question of the existence of the public nuisance.
(d) The Board of Building Appeals, after reviewing all of the inspection reports, and any pertinent evidence presented by the owner or his duly authorized representative, shall determine whether a public nuisance, as defined in Section 1335.01(a), does exist before enforcement of the abatement provisions of this chapter are carried out. A copy of the decision of the Board of Building Appeals shall be promptly served upon the owner in the manner provided for in Section 1335.03.
