If, at any time, a City officer shall find that a condition which constitutes a nuisance exists within the City, he shall give notice in writing to the owner, occupant or person in charge of the premises upon which such condition exists, stating therein the condition which constitutes a nuisance and directing such addressee to remedy the condition within the time stated in such notice, which shall be not more than ten days. No owner, occupant or person in charge shall fail to comply with the terms of such notice; provided, that any owner, occupant or person in charge may, within two days from the service thereof, appeal to Council, in which case the terms of such notice shall be stayed pending action of Council, which shall be final; provided, further, that if the officer giving notice shall state in such notice that the condition which constitutes a nuisance is such as to be an imminent hazard to the health, safety or welfare of the public or any person within or near the premises upon which such nuisance exists, the addressee shall comply with the terms of such notice forthwith.
