The owner of any building or structure ordered by the Building Inspector to be demolished and removed, or who is directed by the Building Inspector to take any other steps to abate a nuisance or remove hazards found by the Building Inspector to exist, shall have the right of appeal from orders to the Mayor and Board of Commissioners; provided, that the owner gives notice of appeal to the Building Inspector at the time of the hearing at which the order is made, or within 10 days after the order is made, files with the Building Inspector a written notice of appeal. Notice of appeal shall state the grounds therefor. Unless an appeal is taken within the time and the manner herein prescribed, the action of the Building Inspector shall be deemed final, subject only to action as the Mayor and Board of Commissioners may take as herein elsewhere provided. Where an appeal has been properly taken and notice thereof given in accordance with the provisions of this section, it shall be the duty of the Building Inspector to report the same to the Town Clerk, who shall cause the matter to be placed on the agenda for action by the Mayor and Board of Commissioners at their next regular meeting. The Mayor and Board of Commissioners shall have the right to continue the hearing of the appeal from time to time, in their discretion.
