Whenever repairs, additions, alterations or
replacements are required to the building or facilities, this notice
shall direct that the person in violation shall make application to
the Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector or Electrical Inspector
for the appropriate permit to cover such requirements.
After hearing, the Township Administrator shall
sustain, modify or withdraw the notice, depending upon his findings
as to whether the provisions of this chapter and the rules and regulations
adopted pursuant thereto have been complied with. If the Township
Administrator sustains or modifies such notice, it shall be deemed
to be an order. The proceedings at such hearing, including the findings
and decision of the Township Administrator, shall be summarized, reduced
to writing and entered as a matter of public record in the office
of the Township Clerk. Such record shall also include a copy of every
notice or order issued in connection with the matter. Any person aggrieved
by the decision of the Township Administrator may seek relief therefrom
in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of
the state.
If after such notice and hearing the Township
Administrator determines that the unit under consideration is unfit
for human habitation, he shall state in writing his findings of fact
and serve upon the owner thereof and parties in interest an order
requiring:
A. The repair, alteration or improvement of the said
structure to be made by the owner, within a reasonable time, which
time shall be set forth in the order, or, at the option of the owner,
to vacate or to have said structure vacated and closed within the
time set forth in the order.
B. The structure be removed or demolished as it was found
to be dangerous to the health and safety and/or welfare of persons
on or near the premises and the owner's failure to repair, alter or
improve the said structure requires that the owner remove or demolish
the said structure within a reasonable time as specified in the said
order.
Whenever the enforcement official finds that
an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the
public health, safety and/or welfare, he may, without notice or hearing,
issue an order reciting the existence of such an emergency and requiring
that such action be taken as the enforcement official deems necessary
to meet the emergency. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
chapter, such an order shall be effective immediately. Any person
to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith immediately,
but upon petition to the Township Administrator shall be afforded
a hearing as soon as possible. After such hearing, depending upon
his findings as to whether the provisions of this chapter and the
rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto have been complied
with, the Township Administrator shall continue such order in effect
or modify it or revoke it.
