§ 31-30. Notice of hearing.

(a)

Every notice of hearing on a notice and compliance order shall contain the date, time and place at which the hearing shall be conducted by the administrative hearing officer.

(1)

The notice of hearing shall state that the purpose of the hearing will be determination on the existence of the code violations and/or other public nuisance described in the notice and compliance order, on the compliance with the notice and compliance order, on the notice of summary abatement, and on the adoption of an administrative order, including imposition of civil penalties and administrative costs pursuant to the article.

(2)

The notice and compliance order shall be attached to the notice of hearing.

(b)

The hearing shall be set for a date not less than fifteen days nor more than sixty days from the date of service of the notice or hearing unless the code enforcement officer determines that the matter is urgent or that good cause exists for an extension of time.

(c)

This hearing serves the full opportunity of a person subject to a notice and compliance order to object to the determination that a code violation has occurred and/or that the violation has continued to exist or that a public nuisance exists. If any person subject to a notice and compliance order, pursuant to this article, fails to appear at this hearing, such nonappearance shall constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
