The property owner may appeal an abatement order with City Council by filing a written petition with the Clerk of Council, requesting a hearing and setting forth the name, address and phone number of the petitioner and a brief statement of the grounds for such hearing. The petition shall be filed within fourteen (14) days of the date of the notice to abate nuisance required by Section 1307.05 and shall be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). Upon receipt of the petition, the Clerk of Council shall set a date for a hearing before City Council. Upon setting the hearing, the Clerk of Council shall notify the petitioner of the date, time and place by sending written notice of the hearing at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing by United States regular mail to the address for the petitioner contained in the petition. At the hearing, the petitioner shall be given the opportunity to be heard and to show cause as to why the abatement order should be terminated or modified. If the petitioner does not appear for the hearing to present his/her position, the appeal shall be dismissed and the abatement order shall be enforced.
