Any person affected by any order or notice issued by the Health Department in connection with the enforcement of any section of this subchapter may file in the office of the Health Department a written request for a hearing before the Health Department Administrator. The Health Department Administrator shall hold a hearing at a time and place designated by him or her within 30 days from the date on which the written request was filed. The petitioner for the hearing shall be notified of the time and place of the hearing not less than five days prior to the date on which the hearing is to be held. If, as a result of the hearing, the Health Department Administrator finds that strict compliance with the order, or notice, would cause undue hardship on the petitioner, and that the public health would be adequately protected and substantial justice done by varying or withdrawing the order or notice, the Health Department Administrator may modify or withdraw the order or notice and, as a condition for such action may, where he or she deems it necessary, make requirements which are additional to those prescribed in this subchapter for th purpose of properly protecting the public health. The Health Department Administrator shall render a decision within ten days after the date of the hearing which shall be reduced to writing and placed on file in the office of the Health Department, and a copy thereof shall be sent to the petitioner. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Health Department Administrator may seek relief therefrom through a hearing before the Board of Health.
