Police Department on a subsequent occasion within three (3) years, then the City is
under no obligation to meet with the owner but may, after notice and hearing before
the City Council, condemn and post the building or any units therein against occupancy
as set forth in Sec. 5-176, and/or proceed directly with a complaint to court seeking
all remedies permitted by law as set forth in Sec. 5-176. In the event of a hearing,
the City Clerk will provide the property owner, non-owner occupants (if known), and
the Police Chief within seven (7) days’ advance notice of a hearing date and time. At
such hearing, the property owner and the Police Chief shall have the right to present
oral or documentary evidence for the City Council’s consideration. The non-owner
occupants shall have the right to explain the events or any mitigating circumstances
surrounding the alleged violation(s) and to present oral or documentary evidence for
the City Council’s consideration.

(d)​ The notices provided for in this section may be given to an owner who has
not complied with Article VII of this Chapter, but are not required. If an owner has
not complied with Article VII of this Chapter, notice given to any person, including
any legal entity having the right of legal title or the beneficial interest in the
disorderly house or any portion thereof, as that interest is recorded in the assessing
records of the City or the Registry of Deeds of Cumberland County, shall be sufficient
for all legal purposes.
