(1) The building or structure is in a condition that appears to constitute a fire or safety hazard, or to be dangerous to life, health or other property;
(2) A hearing will be held before the inspector at a designated place and time, not later than ten days after the date of the notice, at which time the owner shall be entitled to be heard in person or by counsel, and to present arguments and evidence pertaining to the matter; and
(3) Following the hearing, the inspector may issue orders to repair, close, vacate or demolish the building or structure as appears appropriate.
(B) If the name or address of the owner cannot, after due diligence, be discovered, the notice shall be considered properly and adequately served, if a copy thereof is posted on the outside of the building or structure in question at least ten days prior to the hearing, and the notice of the hearing is published in a newspaper having general circulation in the village at least once, not later than one week prior to the hearing.
