(A) Any permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this code may be revoked by the City Council upon its finding, after a public hearing as provided in this chapter, that the permittee has failed, neglected or refused to perform, comply with and abide by any of the conditions and provisions of this chapter.
(B) It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to enforce the provisions of this chapter, and for that purpose the Building Inspector and his deputies shall have the powers of a police officer.
(C) Proceedings before the City Council for the revocation of any permit may be instituted by the Building Inspector causing to be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises covered by the permit, readable from the ground level, a notice entitled “Notice of intention to revoke permit,” and cause a copy thereof to be mailed, postage prepaid, to permittee, or his designated agent, at his last known address, and a copy to be filed with the City Council. Such notice shall set forth the date of the posting hereof, and the reasons and grounds upon which such revocation will be based, and shall require permittee, within 15 days after the date of posting specified therein, to cure and remedy any default under, noncompliance with, or violation of any condition of the permit, or to show cause before such City Council why such permit shall not be revoked.
(D) Upon application therefor by permittee, the City Council may, at its discretion, extend the time for curing and remedying any claimed default, noncompliance or violation by permittee, but no such extension of time shall be for a longer period than a total of 60 days from and after the service upon permittee of such notice of intention to revoke such permit.
(E) At any time prior to the expiration of such period of 15 days, or any extension thereof, the permittee may file with the City Council a written appeal from the order, requirement, decision or determination of the Building Inspector as set forth in the notice mentioned in division (C) of this section, and request a hearing thereon by the City Council. Failure to file a demand for such hearing within the period of time, mentioned in this division, or any extension thereof, shall be deemed to be an admission on the part of the permittee that valid grounds exist for the revocation of such permit forthwith, unless the permittee has commenced with a diligent and bona fide effort to cure and remedy the default, noncompliance or violation for which such notice was issued.
