A. A hearing regarding an abatement order may be requested by filing a written request for a hearing with the main office of the public official whose department issued the abatement order prior to such date set for the abatement of the nuisance.

B. The filing of such request for hearing shall stay the effectiveness of the order to abate the nuisance until such time as the case has been decided by the city council.

In such cases, the order to abate the nuisance shall not become effective until the matter has been decided by the city council.

E. In the absence of a request therefor, no hearing shall be required where the estimated cost to abate the public nuisance is less than ten thousand dollars. (Ord. 670 §1 (Exh. A), 2016).
