Where there is a violation which materially affects health and safety, the enforcement officer will also notify the affected occupants of the rental units of the existence of said violation. At the discretion of the agency, the order may require the violations to be corrected within sixty (60) days or less unless otherwise noted in this Code or require that the premises be vacated and secured until the dwelling or dwelling unit meets the standards of this chapter. The latter requirement shall be based on a finding that the premises are a serious danger to the health, welfare and safety of the occupants or the general public. Orders may further direct:

(1) That the premises be repaired so that they meet the standards of this chapter.

(2) That the premises are unfit for human habitation because they constitute a serious danger to the health, welfare and safety of the occupants or the general public, and the dwelling unit be vacated and secured until the dwelling or dwelling unit is repaired so that it meets the standards of this chapter.

(3) That the premises are unfit for human habitation because they constitute a danger to the health, welfare or safety of their occupants or the general public, and that the dwelling be demolished pursuant to the provision of chapter 8 of this Code.

(4) Each order shall include notification to the party responsible for the violation of the administrative appeal procedure under this chapter. Any appeal of an inspector’s order to the housing board of review shall be given priority in scheduling on the board’s agenda.
