A. The order of the director or the hearing examiner may prescribe times within which demolition shall be commenced or completed. If the action is not commenced or completed within the prescribed time, or if no time is prescribed within the time for appeal, the director may cause the building to be demolished and the premises to be suitably filled and cleared. If satisfactory progress has been made and sufficient evidence is presented that the work will be completed within a reasonable time, the director or the hearing examiner may extend the time for completion of the work. If satisfactory or substantial progress has not been made, the director or the hearing examiner may cause the building to be demolished and the premises suitably filled and cleared.

B. If other action ordered by the director or the hearing examiner is not taken within the time prescribed, or if no time is specified within the time for appeal, the director or the hearing examiner may cause the action to be taken by the city.

C. If the director or the hearing examiner deems it necessary to have the building secured as an interim measure for the protection of the public health and welfare while pending action, they may so order. If the owner is unable or unwilling to secure the building within 48 hours, the director or the hearing examiner may order the building secured by the city.

D. If the owner is unable to comply with the director or hearing examiner’s order within the time required, and the time for petition to the superior court has passed, the owner may, for good and sufficient cause beyond his or her control, request in writing an extension of time. The director or the hearing examiner may grant a reasonable extension of time after a finding that the delay was for good and sufficient cause. There shall be no appeal or petition from the director’s or the hearing examiner’s ruling on an extension of time. (Ord. 3006 § 8 (Exh. H), 2013; Ord. 2012 § 1, 1994)
