Sec. 15.1-5. Emergency action.
Whenever the enforcing officer finds that an emergency exists
which requires immediate action to protect the health and safety
of the occupants of a particular building or of the public, he may
issue an order reciting the existence of an emergency and
requiring immediate action to be taken as deemed necessary to
meet the emergency. Regardless of other provisions of this
chapter, such order shall take effect immediately and any person
to whom such order is directed shall comply therewith
immediately; however, upon petition such person shall be
afforded a hearing before the housing board of adjustments and
appeals within twenty-four hours. After such hearing, depending
upon its findings as to whether the provisions of this chapter have
been complied with, the housing board of adjustments and
appeals shall continue, modify or revoke such order. (10-5-64.)
