Editor's Note: See 2 Pa C.S.A. § 551 et seq.
Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Board, provided that such person shall file with the Board in writing a request for a hearing setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor within 10 days after the day the notice was served in accord with Article VIII. Upon receipt of such request, a time and place for such hearing shall be scheduled and advertised in accord with the Pennsylvania Sunshine Law.[1] At such hearing the person requesting the hearing shall be given
an opportunity to be heard and to show cause why the public nuisance(s) described
in the notice should not be abated. The Board shall commence the hearing not
later than 60 days after the day on which the request was received in the
municipal office.

Editor's Note: See 65 Pa. C.S.A. § 701 et seq.
After such hearing the Board shall sustain the notice, modify the standards
which are the subject of the notice and attach conditions, or withdraw the
notice. If the Board sustains or modifies such notice, it shall be deemed
to be an order. Any notice served pursuant to this chapter shall automatically
become an order if a written request for a hearing is not filed with the Board
within 10 days after such notice is served.
Any aggrieved party may appeal the final order to the Court of Common
Pleas of Monroe County in accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania
Local Agency Law.
The person requesting the hearing shall pay the fee for such hearing
as may be established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
