If, from the evidence received at the hearing, the hearing officer determines that the premises or any portions thereof are unsafe or dangerous and a public nuisance, then the hearing officer shall order the nuisance abated. The order shall set forth the following:
A. A statement of the particulars which render the premises obnoxious or unsafe and a public nuisance;
B. A statement of the things required to be done to abate the nuisance;
C. The time within which the work required to abate must be commenced, which shall be not less than ten (10) days after the issuance of the hearing officer's decision;
D. A reasonable time within which the required abatement shall be completed;
E. That the occupant, lessee, or another person in possession or charge, or any mortgagee, beneficiary under any deed of trust, or other person having an interest or estate in such premises, may at his own risk, abate the nuisance;
F. That if the nuisance is not abated, it may be removed and abated by the city;
G. That the additional costs and expenses of removal and abatement by the city, including any additional administrative and incidental expenses, together with interest on the entire amount owing, will also be assessed and result in a lien upon the premises until paid;
I. For substandard or dangerous residential buildings, a statement substantially as follows:
If this residential building is found to violate state law or local codes relating to health, safety or buildings six months or more after you initially received notice of these conditions, you will be prohibited from taking a tax deduction for interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization paid or incurred on the building in the taxable year pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code sections 17274 and 24436.5.
J. Whenever an order to abate a public nuisance upon premises, or any portion thereof, has not been complied with within the time set by the hearing officer, the hearing officer shall have the power, in addition to any other remedy provided for in this chapter, to:
1. Cause the premises to be vacated until such time as the nuisance has been abated,
2. Cause the nuisance upon the premises, or any portion thereof, to be abated and the premises restored to a safe condition. Nothing herein shall prevent the city from contracting with an independent contractor to perform such work as may be necessary to abate the nuisance.
K. No building found to be a nuisance shall be ordered to be demolished if it was built in accordance with the laws in effect at the time of construction, unless it is found that, in fairness and in justice, there is no other reasonable way other than demolition to correct such nuisance.
