§ 8-275. Appeal and hearing of notice of emergency condemnation/order to demolish.

(a)

Appeals may be taken by any interested party of a notice of emergency condemnation/order to demolish only in cases where the structure has not been secured or demolished. Such interested party is afforded a right of hearing upon payment of a filing fee of $35.00 and submission of a written request for such hearing to the City Clerk within five days of receipt of actual or constructive notice of the emergency condemnation/order to demolish. The written request shall include the cell phone number of the applicant.

(b)

The hearing will be scheduled as soon as possible after receipt of the appeal. Notice of the public hearing of the appeal of emergency cases shall be given by telephone notice to the appellant's cell phone and by posting a copy of the hearing officer's agenda or a good and sufficient notice of such hearing in City Hall for at least two days prior thereto. Notice will be mailed to the owner and interested parties at least two days prior thereto. Failure to effect personal notice upon an interested party shall not prevent the City from performing the emergency demolition or removal and assessment of a lien on the property as set forth in section 8-270.

(c)

Where the owner or other interested party failed to appear at the emergency condemnation/demolition hearing, such person may seek judicial review as prescribed by law.
