  • The city council may, upon written recommendation from a city engineer or other designated authority, order the alteration and repair or discontinuance of use of a structure imminently dangerous to life or property within such period of time, hours or days, as it deems reasonable. Such order must be written and served on the owner. Appeals from such orders must be taken by persons aggrieved within five days from date of service of the order on the owner, by filing with the city council a notice of appeal specifying the grounds therefore. Such appeals shall be heard before the city council sitting as a board of adjustment within a reasonable time, not less than ten (10) days after filing notice of appeal and not earlier than three days after giving public notice thereof and after giving notice to the parties in interest, unless such notice is waived by the party ordered to alter, repair or discontinue use of said nuisance. The filings of such notice of appeal shall cause a stay of proceedings.
