(A) The owner of any building ordered by the Building Inspector to be demolished and removed or who is directed by the Building Inspector to take any other steps to abate a nuisance or remove hazards found by the Building Inspector to exist shall have the right of appeal from the orders to the City Council, provided that the owner gives notice of appeal to the Building Inspector at the time of the hearing at which the order is made or within ten days after the order is made and files with the Building Inspector a written notice of such appeal. The notice of appeal shall state the grounds therefor.
(B) Unless an appeal is taken within the time and in the manner prescribed in this section, the action of the Building Inspector shall be deemed final, subject only to such action as the City Council may take as elsewhere provided in this subchapter. Where an appeal has been properly taken and notice thereof given in accordance with the provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to report the appeal to the Mayor who shall cause the matter to be placed on the agenda for action by the City Council at its next ensuing regular meeting. The City Council shall have the right to continue the hearing of the appeal from time to time in its discretion.
