[Ch. 11 of the 1981 Regulations]
Unless otherwise specified in these regulations, the person
or persons to whom any order has been served pursuant to any regulations
of this code may request a hearing before the Board of Health by filing
with the Board of Health, within seven days after the day the order
was served, a written petition requesting a hearing on the matter.
Upon receipt of such petition, the Board of Health shall set a time
and place for such hearing and shall inform the petitioner thereof
in writing. The hearing shall be commenced not later than 30 days
after the day on which the order was served. The Board of Health,
upon application of the petitioner, may postpone the date of the hearing
for a reasonable time beyond such thirty-day period if, in the judgment
of the Board of Health, the petitioner has submitted a good and sufficient
reason for such postponement.
At the hearing the petitioner shall be given an opportunity
to be heard and to show why the order should be modified or withdrawn.
After the hearing, the Board of Health shall sustain, modify
or withdraw the order and shall inform the petitioner in writing of
its decision. If the Board of Health sustains or modifies the order,
it shall be carried out within the time period allotted in the original
order.
Every notice, order or other record prepared by the Board of
Health in connection with the hearing shall be entered as a matter
of public record in the office of the Clerk of the city or town, or
in the office of the Board of Health.
If a written petition for a hearing is not filed with the Board
of Health within seven days after the day an order has been served
or if after a hearing the order has been sustained in any part, each
day's failure to comply with the order as issued or modified shall
constitute an additional offense.
