A. If it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the property is in violation of any provision of Section 8.04.100 of this title and that the property owner has received two or more written requests to abate the nuisance within any previous twelve (12) month period, then the hearing examiner shall:
1. Order the property owner to secure the property and remove the nuisance as provided in the notice and order; and
2. Modify the scope of the notice and order to provide for the securement of areas specified by the hearing examiner and/or removal of the nuisance.
B. In reaching the decision to affirm the appealed order or for modification of the order, the hearing examiner shall consider the extent to which the violation of Section 8.04.100 of this title is a blight to the neighborhood, the efforts the owner has made to prevent violation of Section 8.04.100 of this title on the property, the efforts the owner has made to remove the nuisance from his or her property, and the effect on the neighborhood if the property is not secured. (Prior code § 61.13.1306)
