(A) On being served notice of a public nuisance as defined in § 152.75, the owner may, within 15 days after receipt of notice, apply in writing to the Building Commissioner for a temporary special nuisance abatement permit to abate the public nuisance. Upon reviewing the Zoning Permit application, the Building Commissioner shall issue the temporary special nuisance abatement permit, which shall state the time frame of 30 days, during which time the applicant must either abate the nuisance or make application to the city for such additional permits as may be necessary to abate the nuisance.
(B) The owner shall furnish to the city adequate plans and specifications as required to cover the repairs or replacements.
(C) Upon receipt of the building permit, the applicant shall apply for permanent special nuisance abatement permit from the city. This permit shall be valid for a period of 90 days and within that time the owner shall begin the repairs or replacements to abate the nuisance. The Building Commissioner may grant an extension to the special nuisance abatement permit, in writing if the owner shows reason or cause for the requested extension and the extension will more readily affect the repairs and/or replacements.
(D) Whenever permits are issued for repairs to the plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, or similar systems in a nuisance structure, such permits shall be valid for a period of time not to exceed the unexpired term of the special nuisance abatement permit, or extension thereof, pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code to the contrary. In the event the said permits are issued for work which exceeds that which is necessary for the abatement of the nuisance, and if the nuisance is abated within the time provided in subsection (c) of this section, then the said permits shall remain valid, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations of the Building Code.
(E) On being served notice, the owner may within 15 days apply in writing or in person to Code Enforcement for a demolition permit to abate the nuisance completely by demolition and removal of the structure. The demolition permitted by the permit shall begin within 30 days from issuing the permit.
