8.08.080 Inspector-Duties.
The inspector is authorized and directed to inspect and examine real property situated within the municipality for the purpose of determining whether or not it contains injurious or noxious weeds, garbage, refuse or unsightly or deleterious objects or structures, and for the purpose of determining whether or not the existence of said weeds or objects creates a fire hazard or constitutes a source of contamination or other danger to health and safety, or otherwise creates nuisances, as above declared.
If the inspector concludes that such conditions exist in whole or in part, he shall:
A. Ascertain the names of the owners and occupants and descriptions of the premises where such objects and conditions exist;
B. Serve notice in writing upon the owner and occupant of such land, either personally or by mailing notice, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner and occupant at their last known post office addresses, as disclosed by the records of the county assessor, or as otherwise ascertained, requiring such owner or occupant, or both, as the case may be, to eradicate or destroy and remove the same within such time as the inspector may designate, which shall not be less than ten days from the date of service of such notice;
C. Inform the owner or occupant or both by means of said notice or an attached document that in the event he disagrees with the determination of the inspector and does not wish to remove said objectionable conditions, he may request in writing a hearing before the governing body at a time and place to be set by the governing body. A written application for a hearing shall stay the time within which the owner or occupant must conform to the decision of the inspector.
In the event the owner or occupant makes such request for a hearing, the governing body shall set the time and place for hearing said objections and the City Recorder shall notify said owner or occupant in writing of the time and place at which he may appear and be heard. Said hearing shall not be heard within less than five days from the date of service or mailing of said notice. (Prior code § 16-10(c))
