§ 1-8.109. Appeal of Notice and Order.

(a)

Any person aggrieved by the action of the Director in issuing a Notice and Order pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may appeal such notice to the hearing administrator. If no appeal is filed within ten (10) days of the date of issuance of the Notice and Order, the order of the Director shall be final. Revocation of the Notice and Order by the hearing administrator or voluntary abatement of the nuisance either on or prior to the Notice and Order due date, and any authorized extensions thereto, shall cause the case to be closed.

(b)

To appeal a Notice and Order, the person shall file a signed written request following the procedures outlined in the Notice and Order. An appellant may contest the Notice and Order by denying that a violation occurred, by denying that it was not corrected within the correction period, if applicable, or by denying that the appellant is a responsible person for the violation.

(c)

To be effective and complete, the request must be received by the Director within ten (10) days of the date the Notice and Order was issued. Where a request is mailed by the appellant, the request shall be deemed filed on the date received by the Director. All requests shall be date-stamped upon receipt. The Director is authorized to designate an address to which such requests shall be mailed.
