If at any time an enforcement officer finds that a condition which constitutes a nuisance exists within the City or within the area surrounding the City and within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City as provided in Section 1141.02, he shall give notice in writing to the owner, occupant or person in charge of the premises upon which such condition exists, stating therein the condition which constitutes a nuisance, and directing such addressee to remedy the condition within the time stated in such notice, which shall not be more than ten days. No owner, occupant or person in charge shall fail to comply with the terms of such notice; provided, that any owner, occupant or person in charge may, within two days from the service thereof, appeal to Council, in which case the terms of such notice shall be stayed pending action of Council, which shall be final; provided further, that if the enforcement officer shall state in such notice that the condition which constitutes a nuisance is such as to be an imminent hazard to the health, safety or welfare of the public or any person within or near the premises upon which such nuisance exists, then the addressee shall comply with the terms of such notice.
